The Head of the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Saida Mirziyoyeva, paid a working visit to Paris, the capital of France. During the visit, high-level talks were held with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace, and she also participated in the prestigious Paris Peace Forum, an important platform for global politics.
Expansion of international partnership and regional opportunities
During the face-to-face dialogue at the Élysée Palace, Saida Mirziyoyeva conveyed the warm greetings of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the French leader. During the negotiations, a detailed exchange of views took place on a number of priority areas ranging from defense, security, cyber technologies, and artificial intelligence to major economic and humanitarian projects.
The influx of advanced technologies and investments from France, a leading state in the European Union, will not only accelerate the digital transformation of Uzbekistan, but on a broader scale will serve to increase the transit potential and investment attractiveness of the entire Central Asian region. Such open, pragmatic, and security-oriented cooperation between Tashkent and Paris is expected to be an important factor in creating new economic and technological corridors for neighboring countries as well.
Peace and child welfare on the global agenda
Another noteworthy part of the visit was participation in the Paris Peace Forum, held on the initiative of President Emmanuel Macron. Speaking alongside leading world politicians at the forum, Saida Mirziyoyeva paid special attention to the issue of global peace and the fate of children.
It was noted that the issues related to child protection and welfare raised in Samarkand in October are truly of concern to the global community today. In order to turn this global attention into practical steps, plans were announced to adopt the main provisions of the Samarkand Declaration as a UN General Assembly resolution and turn it into a universal legal framework.
“In reality, peace means that every child, regardless of where and in what family they are born, can study peacefully, grow up safely, and believe in their future,” emphasized Saida Mirziyoyeva.
Such initiatives voiced on the podiums of Paris and active dialogues in the global arena will make a positive contribution to ensuring a safe and prosperous future not only for Uzbekistan, but also for all fraternal peoples living side by side with it, and to strengthening the region's position in international politics.
