At today’s briefing, we will provide information on the work carried out by the Migration Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers in July–September 2026 as part of the implementation of legislative acts and assignments.

In the third quarter of this year, the Migration Agency was assigned a total of 394 tasks.

In particular, 135 tasks based on 68 documents adopted by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 44 tasks based on 30 documents of the Head of the Presidential Administration, and 211 tasks based on 62 documents of the Cabinet of Ministers were assigned for implementation.

To date, the full and high-quality implementation of the assigned tasks has been ensured.

As part of these tasks, the main focus was placed on expanding legal and decent employment opportunities for citizens wishing to work abroad, opening new foreign labor markets, strengthening direct cooperation with foreign employers, providing targeted training for candidates in professions and foreign languages, as well as protecting the rights and interests of our citizens working abroad.
 

The first direction is the diversification of foreign labor markets.

During the reporting period, cooperation was expanded with Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Japan, the Republic of Korea and other countries. The United States, Italy, Sweden, France and Slovenia were added as new employment destinations.

This year, negotiations were held with 716 employers and recruitment organizations in 42 countries, and 132 new agreements were signed.

As a result of negotiations with authorized organizations of foreign countries, 262,200 new jobs offering an average salary of USD 1,500 or more were identified.

Seasonal employment opportunities were also expanded. For the first time, 12 agreements were signed with 7 countries on attracting seasonal workers in the agricultural and service sectors, reaching agreements on a total of 13,000 jobs.

Alongside traditional employment destinations, particular attention is being paid to attracting our citizens to sectors requiring higher qualifications.

In particular, new opportunities were opened in the fields of international cruise ships, information technology and aviation, while opportunities in medicine, logistics and welding were expanded. A total of 47,000 jobs were identified in these areas.

As a result of the work carried out, 171,200 citizens were placed in jobs abroad this year.
 

The second important direction is preparing candidates in line with employers’ requirements.

Given the high demand in foreign labor markets for specialists who speak foreign languages and possess professional qualifications, 33,300 candidates were enrolled in training in foreign languages and high-demand professions.

In cooperation with foreign companies, 5,700 citizens are being trained through joint educational projects based on the “profession + language” principle.

A targeted training system has been established in construction, transport, hotel services, culinary services, medicine and other high-demand sectors.
 

The third direction is simplifying employment processes and providing targeted support to citizens.

In the “Xorijda ish” (“Work Abroad”) information system, a simplified electronic portfolio has been introduced for candidates with professional skills and foreign-language proficiency, along with a direct communication mechanism between the “employer and citizen”.

Currently, more than 90,000 electronic portfolios of candidates matching employers’ requirements have been created.

In the regions, 43 job fairs and 1,300 selection events were organized, with more than 231,000 citizens participating.

Targeted measures were also taken to provide social support to citizens. In particular, expenses related to work visas, travel tickets, foreign-language or professional qualification certificates, and insurance were covered from the Migration Fund for 11,500 citizens.
 

A number of results were also achieved in strengthening the legal framework for international cooperation.

This year, agreements were signed with 7 foreign countries in the field of employment of citizens abroad.

New legal mechanisms for labor mobility, organized employment of citizens, and the training of qualified personnel were established with Austria, Sweden, Belarus, Japan, Georgia, Serbia and the Czech Republic.
 

The Migration Agency will continue to consistently ensure the timely and high-quality implementation of legislative acts and assignments of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Government, provide the public with open information on the work being carried out, and, most importantly, expand legal, safe and decent employment opportunities for citizens.
