Today, domestic and foreign experts agree that the large-scale structural reforms undertaken in the country have mitigated the negative socio-economic consequences of the global coronavirus pandemic. It has been noted that the government's decisive response allowed Uzbekistan to demonstrate positive economic growth of 1.6%. 

The Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Cabinet of Ministers, the Ministry of Economic Development and Poverty Reduction with the United Nations Entities in Uzbekistan are holding the Sustainable Development Week motto to «Leave no one behind!» on 10-24 June 2021.

In Uzbekistan, systematic work is being carried out to fulfill international obligations to strengthen the legislative and institutional framework for the protection of human rights, to implement international human rights standards in national legislation and to intensify cooperation with international organizations on the protection of human rights.

Throughout the 76 years since the Second World War people who have seen the atrocities of the same war and stood up against death and danger of fascism with bravery and resoluteness want to pass on to following generation one simple but wise message. This message showered in prayers sounds like this: “Everything can be endured, just so that there is no war! We have seen the war, and we ask God that you do not see it”.

Uzbekistan's reform agenda's sudden trajectory focusing on political and socio-economic development brought a welcome surprise to much of the world community in 2016.  Newly elected President Shavkat Mirziyoyev quickly initiated policies based upon the principles of pragmatism and transparency—a shift well received by foreign governments, international organizations, and citizens alike and viewed as a watershed change in a country largely closed to the outside world since independence in 1991. A new vision of what will define Uzbekistan for future generations emerged, new horizons that will bring long-sought-after potential and opportunities to its people.
