Today, I want to tell you a secret: we are currently undertaking extensive preparations for the second plant as well.

We will create a comprehensive system that will not simply provide entrepreneurs with loans, but support them every step of the way, from taking their first steps in business to becoming a large enterprise.

This summer’s extreme heat has once again demonstrated that climate change is already becoming a factor with a direct impact on the economy, water and energy security, public health and quality of life.

Further practical steps are required to strengthen trade, economic and transport connectivity, enhance end-to-end industrial and technological chains, develop common digital services and launch investment platforms.

The time has come to form a sustainable architecture of regional interaction.

We are facing a historic opportunity to form a unified development space that links Central Asia, the South Caucasus, and our close neighbor, Afghanistan.

Over these years, every country has followed its own unique and distinctive path toward statehood, economic growth and national revival.

Azerbaijan’s accession had elevated the consultative format to a qualitatively new, macro-regional level.

The problem in the energy sector is not money, because we find as many funds as necessary. The problem is in managing the system!

If the work of a minister or regional hokim (governor) did not improve people’s quality of life or make it easier for businesses to operate, then the reported achievements remained nothing more than “figures on paper”.

I have brought a delegation of this size with me for the first time — 230 companies and entrepreneurs from Uzbekistan are in Minsk today. It is a high-level forum.

Desert territories should be viewed not merely as an environmental challenge, but also as a source of new economic opportunities.

Cleanliness is not only a household issue, but also a matter of culture and values.

We believe in our team and will support it at this tournament with all our people!

We must begin work on Uzbekistan’s development vision for 2050 without delay. This issue is of particular importance to me.
