MS National Guard and the Republic of Uzbekistan; recognize and congratulate upon 10 years of successful partnership.

Impact

The resolution not only celebrates the achievements of the Mississippi National Guard and Uzbekistan but also emphasizes Mississippi's commitment to enhancing international relationships. By acknowledging the importance of such partnerships, the House of Representatives reinforces the policy of promoting international diplomacy and the protection of democratic values. The successful partnership has implications for future military collaboration and exchanges between the two regions.

Summary

House Resolution 70 recognizes and congratulates the Mississippi National Guard and the Republic of Uzbekistan on the tenth anniversary of their partnership under the State Partnership Program. This resolution highlights the significant events and activities that have taken place over the past decade, including over 200 collaborative events, which have contributed to strengthening ties between Mississippi and Uzbekistan. Notable activities include Subject Matter Expert Exchanges, Bilateral Conferences, and military training exercises, fostering goodwill and cooperation between the two entities.

Contention
