Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Executive Director of the Malaysian Research Institute Kingsley Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific, Max Sei, in an interview with Dunyo news agency, shared his opinion on measures taken to combat COVID-19 in Uzbekistan.

“I’m constantly monitoring the situation with a pandemic in the world,” he said. - Particular attention was drawn to the decisive measures taken by the leadership of Uzbekistan aimed at minimizing the impact and consequences of this crisis on the country’s economy and social sphere.

In the current crisis, comprehensive assistance to those in need of social protection, large families, the elderly, people with disabilities and other most vulnerable groups of the population is timely and necessary. In this context, the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to create a nation-wide movement "Compassion and Support" deserves special attention. In these test days, the rallying of government, civil society and business seems to be very important, since no state in the world can prevent a pandemic alone.

Uzbekistan was one of the first in the world to deliver humanitarian aid to other countries, once again confirms the nobleness and humanity of the Uzbek people.
