An official document of the General Assembly on the unique system of citizen self-government – “mahalla” in Uzbekistan was distributed to the UN. It is based on the Samarkand Declaration adopted during the International Conference “The Role of Mahalla in Improving the Living Standards of the Population”, which was held from 2 to 5 October 2024 in Samarkand. 

In recent years, the climate agenda has become one of the priority areas of Uzbekistan’s domestic and foreign policy. This trend is explained by the fact that the country is increasingly feeling the effects of global climate change.
