I believe that this collaboration will help our peoples to learn more about the unique historical heritages of Uzbekistan and Italy, the current priorities of life and development, as well as the main domestic and foreign policy events in the two countries. It will also contribute to a better knowledge of the great opportunities for business cooperation between companies, agencies and banks.

We strive to prepare and exchange news to improve interregional, interstate and international relations. ANSA is UzA's first information partner in Western Europe; We can say that this is therefore an important historical event".
