“Although humanity is powerless in the face of global challenges, people, especially women, need peace and stability,” said Natalia Gherman. - Gender equality is also necessary for women, who are sensitive and in need of the support of society, to be able to work and carry out activities freely. The UN and its leadership will always support countries that understand this and provide women with the necessary opportunities. Today’s forum aimed at establishing regional cooperation in the development of women’s entrepreneurship deserves recognition, since such large international events develop cooperation and open up new horizons in economic issues. For development is impossible without cooperation. On the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan, another major international conference will be held in the near future.
