I urge you to make a meaningful contribution to laying the foundation of New Uzbekistan and the Third Renaissance by enacting fair and people-centered laws, and by setting an exemplary standard for others to follow.

In you, esteemed senators, I see selfless individuals capable of great deeds, deeply aware of the strategic tasks ahead, and putting the interests of the Motherland and the people above all else.

I trust that you will open a bright new chapter in our country’s development and the Senate’s activities,” the President remarked.
