The Chairperson of the Senate of Oliy Majlis, Tanzila Narbaeva, met yesterday with Nigina Abaszada, UNFPA Resident Representative in Uzbekistan.

According to the information service of the upper house of Parliament, the meeting featured a detailed discussion of Uzbekistan’s demographic growth prospects, issues related to further improving the population’s standard of living, and steps to elevate the country’s development to a new level. Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of studying international experience and best practices in creating favorable working conditions for women, as well as ensuring a balance between professional responsibilities and family obligations.
