President of Uzbekistan meets President of France.

RUSSIA / FSU POLITICS - In Brief 10 Oct 2018 by Alex Teddy
President of Uzbekistan meets President of France. On 9 October the President of Uzbekistan visited Paris. President Mirziyoyev met President Macron of France. Uzbekistan considers this a major success since most Western governments were unwilling to receive the late President Karimov due to human rights concerns. Uzbekistan is eager to attract investment from as many countries as possible, and is seeking to increase transparency and ease of doing business in the country. Consequently, meeting French business leaders was also on Mirziyoyev's agenda, as he looks to increase FDI.

He is allowing BBC and other international media to operate more freely in Uzbekistan.
