Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev thanked President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan after receiving the first indigenous electric vehicle Togg on Wednesday.

The Uzbek president stressed that Türkiye's breakthrough in the field of industry under Erdoğan is "quite valuable," adding that Togg will be recorded as the success of the Turkic world as well as Türkiye.

Also discussing the bilateral relations over the phone, Erdoğan said the Turkic world will move forward with unity, and strong cooperation between Türkiye and Uzbekistan is one of the main pillars of this understanding.

Mirziyoyev became the second leader to acquire Togg after Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

In early April, Togg took to the road after its ceremonial delivery to Erdoğan.

While presenting the car to Mirziyoyev, Turkish Industry and Technology Minister Mustafa Varank said: "We are very happy and proud to have brought such a technological marvel produced by Türkiye to Uzbekistan..."

Along with Varank, Mirziyoyev drove Togg to the Uzbek capital Tashkent.

"The president also drove the car. He was really satisfied," Varank said.

For his part, Mirziyoyev said: "I know the meaning of this gift. It will be recorded as the success of Turkic states in the world. It is an indicator of what Türkiye can do. The doors of your ancestral homeland are always open to you."
