The agreement was signed during a visit by Uzbekistan's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bakhtiyor Saidov, to China. Under the new terms, citizens of both countries will be able to travel visa-free for stays of up to 30 days.
The treaty will take effect once the respective domestic procedures in both nations are completed.
