During the meeting, the parties discussed Uzbekistan's current cooperation with UNODC, issues of countering drug trafficking, as well as further joint steps to combat modern transnational threats.

Special attention was paid to the continuation of the initiatives put forward at the Samarkand International Forum on Countering Drug Threats, which was held in April 2026.

"Thank you to Monica Juma for supporting our side event dedicated to the protection of women, children and youth. Today, it was held by Uzbekistan on the sidelines of the 35th session of the UN Commission on Crime Prevention.

We are ready to further develop our partnership with UNODC in the areas of security, justice and sustainable development," Saida Mirziyoyeva emphasized.
