Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has awarded Rustam Emomali, chairman of the upper house of Tajikistan's parliament, the Fidokorona Xizmatlari Uchun order, Daryo reports.
Senate chair Tanzila Norboyeva also held talks with Emomali on deepening Uzbek-Tajik ties and inter-parliamentary cooperation.
Why it matters: Uzbekistan and Tajikistan were once the region's frostiest neighbours, so an award and a parliamentary agenda together show how routine the partnership has become.
