Uzbekistan places great emphasis on digitalizing various sectors of the economy and establishing a digital government. Comprehensive programs have been adopted and are being effectively implemented to promote the latest technologies even in the most remote regions of the country. This includes strengthening human resources and fostering international cooperation in this area.

Uzbekistan and the European Union cooperate to support sustainable development. It includes investments in municipal infrastructure, hydropower, drinking water, wastewater, and private-sector development.

Currently, extensive work is underway in Uzbekistan to implement reforms aimed at improving the quality of life of its citizens. The government is actively addressing the issues faced by its people and has developed long-term programs to ensure their social and economic well-being. The hardworking people of Uzbekistan, who are paving the way towards a brighter future with their selfless actions, are benefiting from these programs. One of the most significant achievements of these reforms is the transformation of the mindset, thinking, and outlook of the citizens. They no longer have to wait for tomorrow to see the results of the reforms as they can see and feel the positive changes happening around them today.

This reform is aimed at integrating evolving legal paradigms with socio-economic dynamics while considering historical background. The path to reform is marked by both continuity and change.
