The meeting was attended by Valijon Khoshimov, Deputy Director of the Center for Foreign Policy Research and International Initiatives under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan.
The country's accession to the network was included on the assembly's agenda thanks to the joint work of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Qatar and the Center. GPDNet was established in 2014 and unites 29 countries, promoting cooperation in the field of public and cultural diplomacy.
