"Glad to welcome Sierra Leone’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Uzbekistan H.E. Mohamed Yongawo and receive his credentials, – the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan wrote in his telegram channel. – There is a big underutilized room of opportunities to enrich our bilateral ties. Wish Mr. Ambassador all the success in exploring vast possibilities in all spheres during his tenure".

The Republic of Sierra Leone became the 143rd state to establish diplomatic relations with Uzbekistan.
