During the conversation, the current state and prospects of cooperation of the Republic of Uzbekistan with the UN and its specialized structures were discussed. Special attention is paid to the role of Parliament in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
As noted, in order to implement effective parliamentary control over the implementation of national goals and objectives in the field of sustainable development, since 2020, the parliamentary commission has been systematically studying problems and the current state of affairs in the field of sustainable development, and appropriate measures are constantly being taken. It was emphasized that the laws submitted to the Parliament are considered for compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Thanks to these efforts, Uzbekistan rose by 8 positions in the Index of Sustainable Development Goals 2023 and took 69th place among 166 countries of the world. Today, Uzbekistan's experience on the SDGs has become an example for other countries.
During the conversation, the sides exchanged views on preparations for the SDG summit, which will be held in September 2023 as part of the High Week of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
The Summit will open a new stage in achieving the SDGs and aims to achieve high-level political commitments as a result of constructive dialogue between the international community, national Governments, civil society institutions and other partners to implement the objectives of the 2030 agenda.
Following the meeting, an agreement was reached to continue cooperation on the issues discussed.
