The signing of a Regional Program for Central Asia for 2022-2025 with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime will lay a solid foundation for the actions in this direction.
As we continue our efforts in this regard, we intend to develop a joint action plan against drugs with the participation of this UN Office, covering the countries of Central and South Asia.

Dear participants of the session!
Uzbekistan pays a special attention to combatting the climate change, protecting the environment and biodiversity.
This is our noble human duty not only for today, but also before the future generations.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to all Member States for the adoption of a Special Resolution of the UN General Assembly declaring the Aral Sea Region as a zone of environmental innovation and technology.
We are determined to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
We are taking concrete steps to move towards the renewable energy sources.
In particular, it is envisaged to double the energy efficiency of our economy by 2030, increase the share of renewable energy by 25% and develop environmentally clean transport.
By 2025, it is scheduled to commission the new solar and wind power plants with a total capacity of 2,900 megawatts.
