The MOU calls for strengthening cooperation in politics, economy, trade, investment and people-to-people exchanges, and sharing parliament-related knowledge by utilizing information and communication technologies, among other things.

During their talks, Chung voiced hopes that Uzbekistan's recent implementation of a visa waiver program would help expand people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.

Ismailov noted that he had visited many Korean hospitals with a view to helping his country's medical and health services.
