China and Uzbekistan support each other on major issues of common concern and have achieved fruitful results in various fields, Wen said.
Both sides coordinate closely in dealing with regional and world affairs in an effort to promote regional stability and development, Wen said.
China appreciates the long-term support from the Uzbek side on the Taiwan issue and China's combat against the "East Turkistan" terrorist forces, Wen said, adding that China will continue to respect Uzbekistan's path for social development chosen by its people and honor the efforts made by the Uzbek government in safeguarding national sovereignty, security and boosting the national economy.
The Chinese premier also noted that the security and stability in Central Asia can only be maintained by the countries in the region.
