The sides discussed pressing issues of regional security, including the situation on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, as well as prospects for deepening cooperation between Uzbekistan and the European Union. These discussions are seen as part of efforts aimed at stability and security in the region.

During the meeting, the sides confirmed mutual interest in continuing systematic and constructive dialogue on regional security and cooperation matters. Additionally, they agreed to hold regular consultations, though no further details on agreements or specific plans were provided.
