On December 5-6, 2022, the Global Forum on "Education in the field of human rights" will be held in Samarkand. The initiative to hold this prestigious international conference was put forward by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan at the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly and the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council.

Dear ladies and gentlemen!

Dear guests!

 First of all, I give a warm welcome to all participants at the First Plenary Session of the Foreign Investors' Council.

It gives me great pleasure to see the leaders of the world's leading companies and financial institutions - our dear friends and partners - present at today's event.

Distinguished heads of states and governments!

Dear friends!

I am very pleased to see you in the great city of Samarkand, one of the centers of world civilization, located at the crossroads of the Great Silk Road.

I would like to express my special gratitude to all of you for participating at the Summit of the newly named Organization of Turkic States.

Welcome to the land of Uzbekistan, dear friends!

      In the history of each country, especially when it enters a new stage of its development, there are moments or points of reference that require a critical look at the path traveled and determine their new beginnings, adhering to the progressive spirit of the era. Here the saying of one of the outstanding sons of the Uzbek people - the writer, educator and a prominent representative of the Jadid movement Abdullah Kadyri - "Looking back into the past, embarking on a new one, is a good deed" involuntarily comes to mind.
