Uzbek President Mirziyoyev Attends Ankara Summit

Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev will hold international contacts and strengthen his country's position by attending the Organization of Turkic States Summit to be held in Ankara.

Under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Uzbekistan has been undergoing a process of economic and social transformation with the "New Uzbekistan" vision implemented since 2016. The country's economy, which recorded an average annual growth of over 6 percent in the 2017-2025 period, demonstrated a growth performance of 8.5 percent in the first half of 2026.

Following the 8.5 percent growth, Uzbekistan's gross domestic product, which reached an economic size of 147 billion dollars, is projected to rise to 180 billion dollars by the end of the year. During this process, energy regulations, privatizations, and preparations for membership in the World Trade Organization are among the primary structural reforms.
