AKIPRESS.COM – President Shavkat Mirziyoyev suggested mutual recognition of ID cards of the Central Asian states in his contribution during the consultative meeting of the Central Asian leaders in Astana.

“For the purpose of expansion of tourist exchanges, we suggest to study reciprocal recognition of national ID cards and development of mass tourism products based on one region one tour principle,” President Mirziyoyev said.

Tourism sector is becoming a new drive of regional partnership, President Mirziyoyev said.

Such system is already effective between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Citizens of two countries can use ID cards for entry, exit, movement and stay in two countries since September 1, 2023.
