Uzbekistan’s Ambassador to Spain, Farrukh Tursunov, who is also accredited to Andorra, presented his credentials to Andorra’s Co-Prince, French President Emmanuel Macron, Dunyo news agency reports.

During the ceremony, the ambassador conveyed warm greetings and best wishes on behalf of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. In response, Emmanuel Macron extended his respect and appreciation to the Uzbek leader, emphasizing the special importance of relations between the two countries.

The French president highlighted that strengthening bilateral cooperation with Uzbekistan remains a priority and expressed confidence that Ambassador Tursunov’s professionalism would make a significant contribution to advancing ties between the nations.

"We highly value our friendly relations with Uzbekistan and are ready to further expand cooperation in all areas," Macron added.

Farrukh Tursunov currently serves as Uzbekistan’s Ambassador to Spain and the country’s Permanent Representative to UN Tourism (formerly the World Tourism Organization).

The Principality of Andorra has a unique political system — a diarchy. Under the 1993 Constitution, the country is jointly governed by two co-princes: the Bishop of Urgell (Spain) and the President of France. They serve as guarantors of Andorra’s independence and equal relations with Spain and France. Their powers are strictly regulated and mainly limited to participation in drafting international agreements related to internal security and Andorra’s sovereignty.
