Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- At the twenty-third plenary session of the Senate, the Law "On amendments and additions to some legislative acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan" was discussed.

The purpose of the adoption of this Law stipulates the elimination of existing problems and shortcomings, gaps in the legislation governing relations related to permanent residence, as well as in connection with the introduction of new legal relations related to the current biometric passport.
