Today, 168 million people worldwide are engaged in international migration. In our country, too, there are citizens who wish to work abroad, while other countries have a high demand for labour. It was noted that bringing these two opportunities together is one of the key tasks facing officials responsible for this sector and regional leaders.
– A person should master their profession, know their worth, and be able to rely on their own country!
– the President said.
In recent years, the approach to organised labour migration has changed fundamentally. Previously, cooperation in this area involved 3 countries, whereas today their number has reached 27. The number of major foreign employers cooperating with our country has increased to nearly 400.
Over the past ten years, the number of our compatriots working abroad has halved, while the amount of money they send to their families has increased fourfold. As the President emphasised, this demonstrates that attitudes towards Uzbek specialists in the international labour market are changing, and our citizens are now going abroad not as ordinary workers, but as qualified professionals.
