Ravi Kumar Savhnei, expert of the International Vivekananda Fund (India):
“I
read the Concept of President Islam Karimov on the further deepening of
democratic reforms and the formation of civil society in Uzbekistan
with great interest. The ideas put forward in this paper have been
widely studied not only in Uzbekistan, but also internationally. The
start of the consistent implementation of the wide-scale tasks set by
the head of your state will, undoubtedly, serve reforming and
modernizing the country and gaining its rightful place among developed
countries.
“As noted in the Concept, the accelerated
development of the society towards democracy and the success of reforms
in this direction depend on the level of legal culture of the people.
In Uzbekistan, a lot of work has been carried in this direction.
Consistent continuation of this wide-scale work will contribute to
raising the actions in promoting human rights and interests in
Uzbekistan.”
Parviz Morwedge, professor of New York State University, Director of Global Scholarly Publications (USA):
“Uzbekistan has carried out huge work in the steady introduction of
well-developed legal mechanism for strict observance of laws and
ensuring the rule of law in the activities of public authorities and
law enforcement agencies. The study of reforms in the judicial system
of Uzbekistan will be useful for other countries.
“The timely adopted Anti-crisis program of measures has
contributed to stable economic development of Uzbekistan. The constant
attention paid in your country to attracting foreign investments and
increasing the number of joint ventures has given excellent results.
One of the main directions of the Anti-crisis program in Uzbekistan is
the support and strengthening of the budget, banking, finance and
credit systems, the real sector of the economy, modernization,
technical and technological renovation of production with the purpose
of improving the competitiveness on both domestic and foreign markets.
“I
admire the high culture of the people, especially youth of Uzbekistan,
its high intellectual potential. All the conditions have been created
for youth to acquire deep knowledge. This is a practical result of the
huge attention of the leader of your country to the formation of the
younger generation as fully developed personalities.”
