Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has called upon the international community to jointly preserve the spirit of practical cooperation and interaction, placing common interests above existing conflicts and strengthening unity among countries is becoming more relevant than ever.

“Today’s session of the United Nations General Assembly is taking place in the context of fundamental changes in the system of international relations. There is a global crisis of confidence. Problems in the functioning of global security institutions and deviation from international law are increasing. All this is causing a huge increase in tension,” said the Uzbekistan President while addressing the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session.

“The geopolitical contradictions are creating new obstacles to the free flow of trade, investment and innovation. Even on issues that concern the fate of humanity as a whole, such as climate change, hunger and inequality, one can feel that mutual communication has been lost,” he added.

He said that last year, his government launched the “Samarkand Solidarity Initiative” aimed at common security and development.

He explained that the main goal of his government is: to comprehensively understand the responsibility for the present and future of our countries and peoples and to engage in a global dialogue all parties that are ready for open and constructive cooperation.

“We remain committed to continuing our policy of creating New Uzbekistan, which is a law-governed, secular, democratic and social state. Our country is boldly pursuing the path of fundamental reforms aimed at strengthening the principles of democracy and justice, based on the noble idea of “in the name of human values and interests,” Mirziyoyev added.

“In April this year, for the first time in the history of Uzbekistan, a nationwide referendum was held on the renewed Constitution, which defines the priorities of national development. More than 90 percent of the voters in the referendum supported this truly popular Constitution. This has ensured that our reforms have become indeed irreversible,” he said.

“In our Basic Law we have reaffirmed our commitment to the principles of equality of all citizens, human rights, freedom of speech and conscience, regardless of nationality, language and religion”.

“This Strategy is in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and we are fulfilling all commitments we have undertaken”.

He said as an outcome of the ongoing reforms, the economy of Uzbekistan, despite the global challenges, is showing a steady growth.

“Over the past six years, the gross domestic product has grown over 1.5 times. Our main objective is to double this figure by 2030. Another priority of our economic liberalization is to become a full member of the World Trade Organization in the near future”.
