As part of their implementation, consultative meetings of the heads of Central Asian states are held regularly.

In particular, the second such meeting took place in our country’s capital city last November.

In March 2018, Tashkent played host to a high-level international conference on Afghanistan, the declaration adopted whereby has come to be a “roadmap” for ensuing inter-Afghan peace talks.

In December that same year, UN General Assembly passed a special resolution entitled “Enlightenment and Religious Tolerance”.

Currently, a draft UN Convention on the Rights of Youth is being worked out, whose relevance was emphasized once more by international participants of the Samarkand Forum “Youth 2020: Global Solidarity, Sustainable Development and Human Rights” in August this year.
