Mirziyoyev included into list of 40 key figures in international life of 2017

Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) published the list, Jahon news agency reported.

The annual list is comprised of the most distinguished political and public figures of the world and non-governmental organizations.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev was included to this list for the second time. CIDOB included Mr. Mirziyoyev to its list for the first time in 2016.

CIDOB said that Uzbekistan is having its own spring under the presidency of Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who, in the first year of his mandate, has defied all predictions by beginning a process of opening up, which though tentative, is visible in daily life.
