“Citizens of Uzbekistan are in the first place in terms of labor migration to the territory of the Russian Federation. More than 1,800,000 Uzbek citizens are working in Russia, and last year they sent $8 billion to their homeland. This is a great contribution to the economy of Russia and Uzbekistan,” Vyacheslav Volodin said in a meeting with his Uzbek colleague.
