A reliable foundation for the future of Uzbekistan is reflected by the beautiful appearance of our towns and villages, construction of hospitals and residential areas, new schools, colleges, modern manufactures. People are encouraged by the tangible increase in their income, an abundance of goods and products on the shelves of stores and markets.
