Uzbekistan's strategic goal is to establish itself as a developed nation, and all actions and reforms are systematically geared toward achieving this objective. It is worth noting that developed countries typically boast a high standard of living, advanced technological infrastructure, and a well-developed economy. According to the International Monetary Fund's classification, Uzbekistan falls into the category of developing countries. The shift from being a developing nation to attaining the status of a developed country necessitates the implementation of a series of reforms in areas such as the economy, the well-being of the population, as well as human rights and freedoms.

The IT park, established in 2017 at the behest of our state's leader, currently plays a vital role in the rapid growth of our country's IT sector.

The New Uzbekistan is progressively becoming a more appealing destination for foreign nations.

Uzbekistan is a crucial player in upholding peace and security in Central Asia. It is one of the biggest and most important countries in the region in terms of human resources. Uzbekistan is actively engaged in strengthening stability and security through bilateral relations and international organizations.

Special attention is being paid to ensuring a peaceful and tranquil life for the population and to forming a culture of law-abidingness and public safety as part of the large-scale reforms implemented in our country.

Significant progress has been made in Uzbekistan's judicial and legal reforms in recent years. These reforms have affected all areas and were recognized by the President, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who stated that "we have accomplished a profound work to establish justice in the judicial system and the activities of law enforcement bodies over the past few years." The main objective of these reforms is to prioritize individual rights and ensure the rule of law in the actions of courts and law enforcement agencies.

The large-scale reforms observed today in Uzbekistan are taking place as part of the implementation of the Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan for 2022-2026, which is a comprehensive action plan to modernize the economy, improve social security, improve the quality of education and healthcare, and protect the cultural and spiritual heritage of the nation.
