Today, all of us are taking part in the most important political event in the life of our Motherland. President of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the first time delivers Address to the parliament of the country - the Oliy Majlis. It is known that in many developed countries of the world there is practice whereby the head of state addresses the national parliament on the most important and current issues of political, socio-economic and democratic development. I think such a democratic method of public administration is especially in demand today and is in tune with the extensive reforms undertaken in Uzbekistan, first of all with the principle of dialogue with the people, and serves to further enhance the effectiveness of our activities. Today's meeting is attended, along with members of the Senate and deputies of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis, also by deputies of district, city and regional Kengashes, heads of executive and economic management bodies of all levels, through video conferencing.
