TASHKENT (TCA) — President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev on October 16 received the visiting leader of Russia’s North Caucasus region of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, the Uzbek presidential press service said.

It was noted that at the recent meeting of the President of Uzbekistan with the President of Russia Vladimir Putin in Sochi, the sides supported the intensification of Russian-Uzbek contacts at the regional level.

At the meeting in Tashkent, prospects of further development of bilateral cooperation between Uzbekistan and Chechnya were discussed. Particular attention was paid to increasing the volume of mutual trade, implementation of joint programs and projects in the economic and cultural-humanitarian spheres.

The Head of Chechnya sincerely thanked the President of Uzbekistan for the warm welcome and organization of the visit to Uzbekistan for the purpose of visiting the historical centers of Islamic civilization, where his father, Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov, had studied.

Before meeting with Mirziyoyev, Kadyrov visited the grave of Islamic cleric Muhammad Sodiq Muhammad Yusuf, who taught Kadyrov’s late father, former Chechnya head Akhmat Kadyrov.

Ramzan Kadyrov expressed his deep respect to the multinational people of Uzbekistan, as well as highly appreciated the ongoing policy and international initiatives of President Mirziyoyev in the sphere of strengthening interethnic harmony and religious tolerance, as well as promoting the truly humanistic essence of Islam.

Kadyrov has raised eyebrows by meeting with foreign leaders far more often than other Russian regional chiefs do, RFE/RL reported. Rights groups and critics say he rules Chechnya through fear and intimidation but is politically and financially backed by the Kremlin because Russian President Vladimir Putin needs him to keep a lid on the restive region.
