Today, the week kicked off with a plenary session titled "Global Cooperation in Youth Policy: Joint Efforts for a Sustainable Future." Presentations and discussions were held with the participation of international experts, focusing on Uzbekistan’s role in global youth policy.

Prominent representatives from international organizations and various countries attended the event, including:
