Representatives of the Consulate General of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the State of Washington met with Stacey Jehlik, International Affairs Director at the City of Seattle.
The conversation covered a wide range of priorities, including strengthening the longstanding friendship between Tashkent and Seattle, expanding connections between the two cities’ business communities, and developing cooperation in trade, culture, and public diplomacy.
During the meeting, sincere appreciation was expressed for the continued support provided by the Seattle Office of Intergovernmental Relations throughout the establishment of the Consulate General of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the State of Washington.
The visit also provided an opportunity to see a red vase crafted in Uzbekistan that has held a prominent place in a Seattle City Government office since 1973.
The vase was recognized as a meaningful symbol of the friendship, mutual respect, and cultural connection that have united Tashkent and Seattle for more than half a century.
The parties expressed their readiness to maintain regular dialogue, support new cooperative initiatives, and further advance relations between the two cities.
