President Shavkat Mirziyoyev chaired a videoconference to discuss the New Uzbekistan Development Strategy for 2022-2026 and its implementation this year. Today, our 35 million multinational people live with the great goal of achieving a standard of living corresponding to developed countries, building a just, free and prosperous society. Therefore, during the presidential elections last year, Shavkat Mirziyoyev put forward the ideas “In the name of the honor and dignity of man” and “The state for the people.” In order to implement them, based on the opinions and proposals of the population, the Development Strategy for 2022-2026 has been developed. This policy document determines what will be the development trends of our country in the near and medium term, sets priorities in this direction. Particular attention is paid to ensuring the continuity and continuity of reforms on the basis of the principle “From Action Strategy to Development Strategy”.

During the open discussion of this project, more than 17 thousand proposals were received from the public. They were classified and summarized, the draft program was supplemented with more than 300 initiatives.
The head of our state thanked our people for such activity, trust and participation in reforms.
– The concept of honor and dignity of a person is not some kind of abstract, pompous concept for us. When we talk about this, we mean, first of all, ensuring a peaceful and secure life for every citizen, his fundamental rights and freedoms. By human dignity, we mean the creation of decent living conditions and modern infrastructure for every citizen, access to qualified medical care, quality education, social protection, and a healthy ecological environment. To achieve this goal, we have set ourselves the task of effectively using the capabilities of the mahalla institution, which is a unique democratic structure in the world, further expanding its powers in order to ultimately turn the mahalla into a decisive link in our society. If peace reigns in the mahalla, it will be peaceful in the country. If the mahalla is well-maintained, then the whole country will be well-maintained,” the President said.
The development strategy consists of 7 priority areas and 100 goals. This:
I. Building a people’s state by ensuring the interests of man and the further development of a free civil society;
II. The transformation of the principles of justice and the rule of law into the main and necessary condition for the development of the country;
III. Development of the national economy, ensuring high rates of its growth;
IV. Implementation of fair social policy, development of human capital.
V. Ensuring spiritual development, bringing this area to a new stage;
VI. Approach to universal problems based on national interests;
VII. Strengthening the country’s security and defense capability, maintaining an open, pragmatic and active foreign policy.
In the State Program for the implementation of the Development Strategy, 398 events are planned this year, for the implementation of which 55 trillion soums and 11.7 billion dollars will be allocated.
At the meeting, the head of our state stressed that all efforts and allocated funds should reach each mahalla and serve to improve the well-being of families.
