Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan sign a “Treaty on Eternal Friendship” after high-level talks in Tashkent. Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev sign the treaty alongside a decision related to the 3rd Meeting of the Supreme Interstate Council.

Beyond the treaty, sources say the two governments also move to deepen cooperation across several sectors. Euronews reports new initiatives and projects in areas including banking, energy, tourism, and mining, as well as an emphasis on strengthening Trans-Caspian connectivity. The same outlet adds that the countries plan to co-host the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2027.

Aravot focuses primarily on the signing of the treaty and the Supreme Interstate Council decision, while Euronews provides broader detail on the scope of follow-on projects and regional links. The reporting is consistent on the core event: Mirziyoyev and Aliyev sign the Treaty on Eternal Friendship in Tashkent.
