As the Uzbek FM noted, the Ambassador’s tenure in Uzbekistan coincided with an important historic period in relations between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. In particular, on December 22, 2022, the Treaty on Allied Relations between the two states was signed.

Bakhtiyor Saidov expressed gratitude to Beibut Atamkulov for his significant personal contribution to strengthening friendship, good neighborliness, and allied partnership between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

“We will always highly value the Ambassador as a sincere friend of Uzbekistan and a distinguished professional, and we wish him every success in his future endeavors”, the Uzbek FM stressed.
