"We Support the Reform of the United Nations"
Emphasizing Uzbekistan’s support for efforts to reform the United Nations and enhance its potential, Mirziyoyev noted that climate change has become a serious issue and poses a significant obstacle to global development, particularly affecting developing countries.
