Ambassador of Uzbekistan H.E. Dr. Bahramjan Aliyo, in a media interaction held at his residence on 23 June, highlighted some of the changes made to his country’s National Constitution that could have far-reaching impacts on the growth and progress of Uzbekistan.
Ambassador Aliyo began by quoting from the recent speech by Uzbek President, Shavkat Mirziyoye, in which the president pointed to the “great achievements that have contributed to strengthening the country’s image in the world, including ensuring the social and economic development of the republic and the welfare of the people, as well as political and democratic transformations in society.” On 20 June, President Mirziyoye held a meeting with members of the Constitutional Committee to reform the country’s Basic Law. He addressed a multitude of social issues that should be tackled with constitutional change. The President stated that “the human being, his life, his freedom, his dignity, his rights and his interests are inviolable.”
Changes accompanying these reforms would include improvement of education on a primary and secondary level. Additionally, assistance would be provided to youth groups to help develop a more educated generation. This is all a part of the expansion of fundamental human rights and freedom. The President had made it clear that the primary principle is to offer human dignity to the populace, which entails freedom, security, decent living conditions, education, social protection and a healthy ecological environment for all.
The president had previously noted that his goal was to “improve public administration and strengthen people’s power.” This is to create a stronger democratic nation and a “New Uzbekistan” where it is a “social state.” The president added that he wanted the new government to be transparent and held accountable, offering a platform for healthy public discussion. He added that the government further hopes to work with the Press Service of the constitutional commission, whose main priority is to provide “in a simple and
understandable language for an ordinary citizen the need, priorities and main directions of constitutional reforms and novels.” The New Uzbek government should be a pillar for democratic institutions, and “the people should have a single vote and equal decision-making rights.”
He noted that the Uzbek government emphasizes change to achieve current conditions in the globalized world, and that the government has named this movement ‘The New Uzbek Development Strategy’, to dictate the importance of developing Uzbekistan. President Mirziyoyeended his speech with his aspiration to unify the elected and constituents to achieve a stable social state.
