He said that diplomatic missions of Uzbekistan abroad should carry out a serious work in order to attract the foreign investments and advanced technologies.

“For this purpose, the activity of the Foreign Ministry should be enhanced. Our ambassadors in foreign countries should engage not only in political, but also in attracting the foreign investments into Uzbekistan. In order to supervise over their activity in this respect, I deem it necessary to expand the scope of activity and authorities of the Foreign Policy Committee of the Senate of Oliy Majlis,” Uzbek leader stated.

He underlined that the Committee should turn into a major component of the parliamentary supervision for international economic cooperation and active attraction of foreign investments.

“It would be expedient that the Committee takes measures on increasing the responsibility of the relevant agencies in terms of ensuring the efficiency of attraction of investments into our country, eradicating the problems, obstacles and barriers in this sphere, and improving the investment climate,” he said.
