The reforms aimed at honoring human dignity in our country are yielding results.
The reforms being carried out in our country to honor human dignity are showing their results. Specifically, the official lifting of the ban by the U.S. Department of Labor on importing cotton and cotton products from Uzbekistan is one of the fruits of these reforms.
This good news has brought joy not only to workers in the cotton textile industry but also to intellectuals and the entire population of our country. After all, the resolution of these bans has significant importance for our social and economic life. In this regard, Qudratilla Rafiqov's article, titled 'Is It Easy to Make the World Acknowledge?' published in 'Xalq So'zi', 'Ishonch' newspapers, and several online publications, has resonated deeply with our people.
In several articles in the current issues of 'Ishonch' and 'Xalq So'zi' newspapers, under the theme 'Echo', there is a discussion about how lifting the cotton-related restrictions will open up great prospects for development in the sector. In the article titled 'Global markets have opened for Uzbekistan' by Sherzod Mustafakulov, the rector of Nordic International University, Doctor of Economics, and Professor, it is noted that the resolution of the restrictions on Uzbek cotton and textile products will help create millions of new jobs in our country, introduce international standards in agriculture, expand international cooperation, and increase export volumes.
