SECRETARY-GENERAL
The Secretary-General, as you know, has begun his travels to Central Asia, with Uzbekistan being his first stop.
Today, in Tashkent, the capital of the country, the Secretary-General met with Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Secretary-General and the President discussed cooperation between the United Nations and Uzbekistan, as well as issues related to regional stability and cooperation in Central Asia.
The Secretary-General, in speaking to the press, noted that Uzbekistan’s Government has developed a policy that is entirely aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, adding that in the recent universal periodic review, Uzbekistan has accepted most of the recommendations.
Mr. Guterres noted that the United Nations is ready to support the Government in the implementation of these Sustainable Development Goals related policies. Also today, he met Tanzila Narbayeva, the Chairperson of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
During a visit to a Riverside Solar Photovoltaic Plant, the Secretary-General highlighted the excellent example of the country’s commitment to embracing renewable energy and reducing its dependence on fossil fuels. He also visited a traditional community-based neighbourhood organization.
Later in the afternoon, he departed to Kyrgyzstan, where he just landed, and tomorrow, he will have a meeting with Sadyr Zhaparov, the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as other Government officials. He will also visit a project related to climate change and speak with local communities and youth activists.

Earlier this morning New York time, in Doha, Rosemary DiCarlo, the Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, spoke to your colleagues about the third Meeting of Special Envoys on Afghanistan. She described the discussions as frank and useful.
At the opening yesterday, the Special Envoys and the de facto authorities from Afghanistan aired their expectations, while discussions today focused on the private sector and counternarcotics.
Ms. DiCarlo added that “we are pursuing a principled, step-for-step approach” with clear understanding of the outcomes and commitments from all sides.
She said that she hopes that the exchanges on the various issues over the last two days “have moved us a little closer to resolving some of the problems” that are having such a devastating impact on the Afghan people.
The concerns and views of Afghan women and civil society were front and centre during the discussions, Ms. DiCarlo said. For us at the UN, she added, the meaningful inclusion of women in political and peace processes is a guiding principle.
Answering questions at the press conference on whether the issue of education of women and girls was discussed with the Taliban representative, Ms. DiCarlo said this is something that was raised a number of times, and it was a number one concern and request coming from Special Envoys from around the world.
Tomorrow, Ms. DiCarlo and the Special Envoys are set to meet with representatives of Afghan civil society, including women’s groups and human rights organizations. Ms. DiCarlo will speak to the press again tomorrow.
