A group of our compatriots who made a
great contribution to the development of the country, demonstrated
self-sacrifice in strengthening peace and tranquility, achieved success
in socio-economic, scientific-technical, spiritual-educational spheres
of society had been awarded high state awards – honorary titles, orders
and medals by the decrees of the President of our country Shavkat
Mirziyoyev in honor of the 26th anniversary of the independence of the
Republic of Uzbekistan.
On December 7, solemn presentation of
these high awards of the homeland took place with participation of the
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, in
Tashkent.
The Head of our state warmly welcomed the
gathered, honored with high awards, orders and medals. Congratulated
all our compatriots on the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the
Constitution.
The President of our country emphasized
that all reforms that are being implemented today are based on the
Constitution and the Action Strategy. Focusing on the implemented
activities in the end of the year, Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted the special
attention paid to the dialogue with people and to alleviating concerns
of people.
Indeed, a completely new and effective
system of dialogue with people was created in the Year of dialogue with
people and human interests. More than 1,5 million appeals have been
received in the Virtual Reception and People’s Reception Offices of the
President, over a million of them have been resolved positively.
Today, authoritative international experts and specialists recognize the serious results of involvement of this system.
Our people want above all peace and
tranquility, and only then – a roof over their heads, a healthy and
prosperous life for themselves, their families and children. We are
paying great attention to two issues for implementation of these goals
and aspirations of our people, that is, reforming the system of bodies
of internal affairs and healthcare, said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
A large-scale activity was carried out in
this direction. The district inspectors for prevention are provided
with office cars and housing. Every Thursday of the week is declared as
the Day of prevention of offenses. The “Safe city” project is being
implemented.
Large-scale activity that is being
carried out on creation of all necessary conditions for youth, starting
with a healthy birth and to entering into an independent life is
noteworthy. Another important step in this direction was the
introduction by the Head of our state of an initiative on adoption of an
international convention on the rights of youth at the session of the
UN General Assembly that was held in September.
This year, the Law “On the state youth
policy” was adopted among other normative legal acts. The Union of Youth
of Uzbekistan has been established, the post of deputy head on the
issues of youth has been established in all state bodies and makhallas.
Care for women, respect for them are the
noblest feature of our people. Therefore, issues of revitalization of
activities of the Women’s Committee of Uzbekistan and its regional
branches, increasing the role and influence of women in the family and
society, worthy evaluation and stimulation of their work, provision of
vital interests are in the center of constant attention of our state.
At the same time, huge updates have
occurred in the healthcare sector. Important tasks related to cardinal
improvement of drug provision, emergency medical care services,
activities of rural medical stations, organization of activities of
specialized medical centers in the regions have been executed. More than
800 family polyclinics, over 400 emergency medical care stations have
been opened on the basis of rural medical stations. About 700 doctors
working in the village are provided with official housing.
About 60 qualified doctors of Uzbekistan
who worked in prestigious foreign clinics returned to the country, all
amenities are created for them. Today they are working for improvement
of health of their people. Highly qualified specialists from leading
foreign clinics are visiting Uzbekistan and carrying out complex
operations. Branches of the capital’s specialized medical centers are
being organized in the regions. One of the most important tasks is the
issues of improving patronage and screening services.
Particular attention today is also paid
to further improving the road and transport infrastructure, public
services. Large-scale programs are being implemented on providing
villages with clean drinking water, natural gas and electricity. New
parks of culture and recreation, leisure centers, cinemas, exhibition
halls and libraries are being built at places.
Modern affordable houses on updated
projects are being built in modern cities and villages. This year 191
multi-storey houses have been erected in the cities, 24 thousand houses
of a new type in the villages. As a result, more than 33 thousand
families, including 7 thousand young families received houses.
The Head of our state, touching on the
theme of sustainable economic development, especially noted the creation
of dozens of new industrial enterprises, the liberalization of the
foreign exchange market and establishment of free conversion of sum.
It should be noted that due to the
provision of additional benefits and preferences for entrepreneurs,
practical actions for accelerated business development, new industrial
enterprises, service delivery points are being opened, the most
important is that thousands of people are provided with work.
In the current agricultural season, our
skilled dehkans and farmers, despite the difficult climatic conditions
and weather whims, were able to raise high grain and cotton hirmans
(clusters), to grow a rich harvest of fruit and vegetable products.
Speaking about this, Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted that starting from this
year, the Day of agricultural workers is celebrated in our country, in
connection with which harvest festivals are being held in all districts
and regions these days.
A number of important decisions regarding
the development of science, literature, art and culture were taken. The
Head of our state held several meetings with representatives of these
spheres, discussed actual tasks with them. Necessary means and resources
have been allocated for strengthening scientific and material-technical
base of the Academy of Sciences. New research centers and technoparks
have been established. An important step became the establishment of the
Ministry of Innovative Development.
Science is the basis of progress, said
Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The state and society, not based on scientific
achievements, innovative ideas, do not have a future. We will be able to
bring Uzbekistan to a new level of development only at the expense of
science and education, high intellectual potential, well-educated
cadres.
One of the most important events of this
year, the result of which is obvious, is reaching a new level of
relations of friendship and cooperation with the countries of near and
far abroad, primarily with neighboring states. Historical agreements on
border issues have been reached. In our country, the atmosphere of
interethnic harmony and mutual respect has strengthened.
The Head of our state, analyzing the
implemented work in 2017, especially noted that life itself convincingly
proves that the state only acquires, overcomes all difficulties on its
way and achieves the planned noble goals by conducting a dialogue with
people, consulting with them.
Therefore, good deeds that have started this year will be consistently continued.
