Cyril Muller, Vice-President of the World Bank for Europe and
Central Asia, intends to visit Uzbekistan in March this year to
discuss the most promising projects, Trend reports via the Uzbek
media.
Negotiations were held in Washington between a delegation of
Uzbekistan, composed of Vice Premier Tanzila Narbayeva, Minister of
Employment and Labor Relations Sherzod Kudbiyev and Chairman of the
Uztextileprom Association Ilkhom Haydarov with Cyril Muller, where
he told about his intentions to visit Uzbekistan.
During the negotiations, Muller noted the possibility of
cooperation in three main areas.
The first is the continuation of the tripartite format between
Uzbekistan, the World Bank and the International Labor Organization
(ILO). The second is the promotion of employment and the creation
of favorable working conditions. The third is the implementation of
projects related to gender equality, infrastructure development,
increasing energy efficiency, modernizing agriculture and ensuring
food security, increasing the country’s trade and export
potential.
Muller noted two fundamental achievements of Uzbekistan: a
steady decline in the number of forced labor cases and the
introduction of effective mechanisms for monitoring, feedback and
response.
