World
The President stressed that the people of Afghanistan cannot be left alone in the face of today's complex problems, and the active involvement of this country in regional integration processes is an indispensable and necessary condition for our sustainable development.
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has called on the international community, particularly the leaders of the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) member states, to increase humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people. He said this at the ECO summit in Tashkent on 9 November.
At the beginning of the part of the head of state's speech devoted to Afghanistan, he drew attention to the fact that the summit was taking place without that country.
"I would like to draw your attention to the fact that today's summit is taking place without the participation of Afghanistan, one of the members of our organisation. The multinational people of Afghanistan, who have been our neighbours for centuries, cannot be left alone in the face of today's complex problems," the Uzbek President said.
Afghanistan should be approached with collective responsibility, he said.
"Active involvement of this country in regional integration processes is an obligatory and necessary condition for our sustainable development. I call on all of you to increase humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people, to solve acute social and economic problems here on the basis of collective responsibility and acceptable mechanisms," Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
