Uzbekistan Is Moving Toward a Future Where Every Citizen Is Supported
I have been participating in the projects of the UN and other international organizations in Uzbekistan and Central Asia since the 1990s, and I can say with confidence that Uzbekistan's achievements are remarkable. The people of Uzbekistan are full of hope and positive spirit, sincerely support their leader, and believe that their lives will improve.
The President of Uzbekistan is leading the country toward a just and prosperous future, and social protection has become an important element of this strategy.
The effective implementation of social programs and the integration of social protection into economic policy are crucial for achieving long-term goals and sustainability. Over the past two years, the poverty rate has decreased by 6 percent and many people have crossed out of the poverty line.
The cooperation between education, business and the state, as well as Uzbekistan's strategy for combating poverty, deserve commendation.
