The Kazakh delegation visited the Victory Park memorial complex in the capital and Chimgan mountain training center of the Defense Ministry in the mountains of the Tashkent region where exercises with shooting in the mountains were demonstrated. The Kazakhstani defense minister familiarized himself with the training process and planted a tree there.

Concluding their visit, Ministers Bakhodir Kurbanov and Murat Bektanov observed the active phase of the Uzbek-Kazakh joint exercise Hamkorlik-2021 at the Termez training range of the Southwest Special Military District on November 24. It was a continuation of the joint exercise "Kalcon-2021" at the "Matibulak" training range in the Zhambyl region of Kazakhstan.

Soldiers from the two countries spent a week preparing for the main phase of the exercise. The ministers watched demonstrations by Uzbekistan's servicemen, including overcoming a complex set of 45 obstacle courses, a horseback riding marathon, and other demonstrations organized at 50 training locations within the training range.

According to the plan of exercises, the combined forces of the two countries went into battle with illegal armed formations, which had broken through the state border with more than 50 combat vehicles and about 300 servicemen.

Fighter jets, attack helicopters, armored vehicles, artillery, motorized rifle units, and unmanned aerial vehicles were used to destroy groups of the simulated enemy.
