New procedure for labor migrants' appeals

On November 2, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting on priority tasks in the field of labor migration at the international language and vocational training center 'Intil' in the Uchtepa district of Tashkent. This was reported by Kun.uz.

What changes for citizens abroad

The head of state stated that no compatriot working abroad should be left alone with their problems. Under the new procedure, a citizen facing difficulties abroad will not have to search for an ambassador or consul, but can submit an appeal for help through the 'Online-mahalla' platform. If necessary, the ambassador will personally come to the citizen, protect their rights, and help find a solution to the problem.

Directives and the state's attitude toward migrants

The president instructed responsible officials to set up this system within 10 days and submit proposals for ensuring its effective operation. The quote provided by the press service emphasizes: 'An important aspect is that the attitude toward labor migrants is changing. A person working abroad is recognized not merely as someone sending money, but as a full-fledged, worthy citizen under the protection of the state.'

Tasks for khokims

As UzNews.uz additionally reports, khokims have been tasked with creating conditions for the well-being of the families and parents of citizens working abroad, as well as for their children to receive a quality education. It was emphasized that every compatriot, wherever they may be, should feel the support of the Motherland.
