President of the Republic of Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, recently expressed hope for joint collaboration with Uzbekistan in establishing a high-tech hub in Central Asia. This initiative aims to create an innovative Silk Road of the 21st century, which has the potential to drive humanity towards a scientific and technological breakthrough.
