UNDP Resident Representative for the Republic of Uzbekistan
Helena Fraser
Assalomu alaykum,
Hurmatli honimlar va janoblar,
Уважаемые участники!
Thank you very much for offering me quick words in supportive today’s important
initiative. Exactly one year ago president Mirziyoyev announced the intention for a resolution to
promote stronger cooperation among the countries of Central Asia. And from the United
Nations prospective we are extremely happy to see the growing engagement in support of such
cooperation over the past year starting with the Samarkand conference in November and
followed-up by the General Assembly resolution being adopted in June.
