Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here Tuesday the joint construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt should become the core of China-Uzbek cooperation.

It is agreed that China and Uzbekistan would further coordinate development strategies to make the Silk Road Economic Belt, first put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping in September of 2013, a project that could benefit people of the two countries and promote regional development.

According to Wang, China-Uzbek relations have reached a new level since the establishment of the strategic partnership between the two countries.

The leaders of China and Uzbekistan would make a timely decision on raising the level of bilateral ties and directing the future of cooperation, Wang said.
