Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Today, on 10 April, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev participated in an extraordinary summit of the Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking countries in the form of a video conference to consider issues of strengthening cooperation and joining forces in the fight against the spread of coronavirus infection.
The event, chaired by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, was also attended by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sooronbai Jeenbekov, the President of the Republic of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban, as well as Baghdad Amreev, Secretary General of the Turkic Council; and Tedros Adhan Gebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organization.
In accordance with the agenda, an exchange of views took place on the priority measures taken in the countries to counter the pandemic. The parties also informed about comprehensive measures aimed at ensuring epidemiological control in the states, protecting socially vulnerable layers of the population, supporting economic and business sectors in difficult conditions.
The importance of close cooperation was emphasized in order to exchange experience and best practices in the fight against coronavirus, strengthen coordination and support joint projects of trade, economic, investment, transport and communication cooperation.
It should be especially noted that the countries of the Turkic Council, historically closely connected by the bonds of friendship and partnership, have dynamically developed multifaceted cooperation in recent years.
Unfortunately, the rapidly spreading dangerous infection has not bypassed our countries, where about 160 million people live.
The pandemic has become a serious challenge for all of humanity and the global economy. The global epidemiological crisis has led to a significant reduction in transport in the world, the suspension of large enterprises and industries, increased unemployment, and continues to have a huge negative impact on sustainable socio-economic development in all states.
Speaking about the priorities of cooperation in this area, the head of our state emphasized the importance of developing effective and comprehensive measures to prevent the wide spread of infection, strengthen the capacity of health systems, minimize the consequences for key sectors and sensitive sectors of the economy, and establish an open international dialogue.
The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan shared information on the uncompromising struggle against coronavirus in the country. Shavkat Mirziyoyev spoke about the quarantine measures introduced in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of the World Health Organization.
The work on the construction of quarantine zones and modern modular clinics in the regions of the country, the measures taken to expand social guarantees for doctors, the organization of distance education, as well as the launch of real support mechanisms for the economy and business, the introduction of the National System for Monitoring and Forecasting the Epidemiological Situation in Uzbekistan, and other events were noted.
In order to take effective practical measures to effectively counter the consequences of the spread of coronavirus infection, the leader of our country put forward a number of specific proposals, including:
- the creation of a permanent monitoring system, analysis and forecasting of the development of the epidemiological situation within the framework of the Turkic Council;
- establishing close cooperation between the ministries of health and leading medical institutions for the exchange of experience in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dangerous infectious diseases, and research.
to this end, the holding of the first video conference in the near future with the participation of leading experts;
- strengthening the coordinating functions of the secretariat of the Turkic Council and creating an appropriate group to establish close working contacts with national headquarters to combat the pandemic;
- the maximum use of transport infrastructure and communications, the provision of practical assistance in the transportation of goods and their easier crossing across borders, the rapid resolution of all issues arising by creating a working group led by the heads of the ministries of transport of the organization’s member countries;
- attracting wide international assistance to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, further enhancing the status and powers of the World Health Organization, establishing partnerships between WHO and the Turkic Council.
Concluding his speech, the head of our state emphasized:
“We all well understand that not a single state can cope alone with this terrible pandemic. The guidelines for action for us should be the principles of unity, cooperation and mutual assistance. Together we can do a lot.
All proposals and initiatives of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan were included in the final document of the extraordinary summit of the Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking states - the Baku Declaration.
This important document will become the political and legal basis for the implementation of the agreements reached within the framework of the meeting of the heads of Turkic-speaking states.
