The event was attended by representatives of state bodies, members of parliament, the leadership of the Ministry of Justice, public funds and civil society institutions, as well as heads of NGOs.

Participants exchanged views on the role of NGOs in the country’s development, their importance in addressing social issues, and the conditions being created by the state to support their activities.

During the event, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between the Committee on Interethnic Relations and Friendship with Foreign Countries of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the National Association of Non-Governmental Non-Profit Organizations of Uzbekistan. This document is aimed at bringing cooperation in the development of civil society to a new stage.

• actively participate in addressing local issues.

In state policy, the development of civil society has been defined as a priority direction, with special attention paid to creating favorable conditions for NGOs.
