On July 4, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev hosted his adviser on economic development, good governance and international cooperation Suma Chakrabarti.
The parties discussed issues of further continuation and improvement of the effectiveness of economic reforms in the country in the context of implementing the new Uzbekistan’s Development Strategy for 2022-2026.
Suma Chakrabarti reportedly highly valued the large-scale program of socio-economic reforms being implemented under the leadership of the leader of Uzbekistan, including on modernizing and increasing the competitiveness of key sectors of the economy, transforming and digitalizing all spheres of society, improving the investment and business environment in the republic, and training a new generation of personnel.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted that the constitutional reform launched in Uzbekistan, which is being implemented in full accordance with democratic principles and legal norms, on the basis of advanced national and international experience in constitutional construction, would contribute to bringing the transformations ongoing in the country to a qualitatively new level.
