EU–Uzbekistan Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (joint debate)
Mr President, Vice-President Kaja Kallas, everyone criticises you for any reason. But I would like to congratulate you. I would like to tell you that you did an amazing job to bring Uzbekistan close to the European Union. It is your success. And Kaja, you can celebrate it. This day is your day. And I have to say that if I am so successful like you, in this case, to bring Central Asia to Europe, I will celebrate all the days because this is our goal – to take our partners closer to the European Union and through our open dialogue, to make our goals what we want to do. And Uzbekistan is a real partner and really trust me, Kaja Kallas, that I am so, so socially intelligent, if I do not mind that you made an amazing word, I will not repeat it in plenary of the European Parliament.
