Mirziyoyeva meets Macron in Paris and speaks at the peace forum

The head of the administration of the President of Uzbekistan, Saida Mirziyoyeva, made a working trip to Paris, where she met with French President Emmanuel Macron and took part in the Paris Peace Forum. This is reported in her Telegram channel.

At the meeting with Macron, Mirziyoyeva conveyed greetings from Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The sides discussed prospects for strategic partnership, including cooperation in the fields of defense, security, cyber technology and artificial intelligence, as well as the implementation of major economic and humanitarian projects. Attracting advanced technologies and investment from France, as noted, will help accelerate Uzbekistan's digital transformation and strengthen the transit potential and investment attractiveness of Central Asia as a whole.

At the Paris Peace Forum, the head of the administration focused on child protection and the issues previously raised in Samarkand. To turn attention to this topic into action, plans were announced to adopt the main provisions of the Samarkand Declaration by a resolution of the UN General Assembly.

Mirziyoyeva stressed that "peace means that every child can study in peace and grow up safely," adding that regardless of where and into which family a child was born, the child must believe in their future.
