The two countries have scored remarkable achievements in their security cooperation, and the Chinese side wants to further enhance such cooperation, said Hu.

President Karimov said the Uzbek people will never forget the support and assistance from the Chinese people, and his country hopes to expand concrete cooperation with China in various fields.

He reaffirmed Uzbekistan’s support for China’s efforts to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, saying that his country will continue to cooperate with China in combating the "three evil forces" (of terrorism, separatism and extremism).
