A Blue House official stated, "President Moon will host an official welcoming ceremony at the Blue House on the morning of the 17th to greet President Mirziyoyev and his spouse."

Following the welcoming ceremony, President Moon will hold a summit and sign agreements and memorandums of understanding (MOU). At this summit, the two presidents plan to broadly discuss future-oriented and concrete cooperation enhancement measures related to ▲ COVID-19 recovery ▲ trade agreements ▲ securing stable supply chains ▲ healthcare, in order to further deepen the 'special strategic partnership' between the two countries.
