“Last year, bilateral relations between our countries attained a level of strategic partnership, which will further strengthen our ties in political, economic, and cultural spheres and promote more active cooperation for global peace and stability. By working together, we can unlock the full potential of our strategic partnership, which will significantly benefit our nations, said the minister
