Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has called a snap presidential election, Russia's RIA news agency reported on Monday, without giving a date.

Uzbek voters approved a package of constitutional amendments in a referendum on April 30 that allows Mirziyoyev to run for two more seven-year terms.
