Privilege to be on CNN to talk about the successful collaboration between Uzbekistan and the @ILO TPM Project and @WorldBank to eradicate child labour and forced labour in the cotton harvest. Still work to be done but Uzbekistan is a real success story in the world of work!

@Peter__Leonard Thank you, @Peter__Leonard, for your exceptional work and insights into the region! I look forward to following your future endeavors. Please keep those subtly hilarious and delightfully understated tweets coming.

@JahongirAzimov1 @d_yusupov @shukhratlatipov I could see you there Jakhongir!

@d_yusupov @shukhratlatipov Thank you, but I am way way too far from being included in the list. It is not humility, it is the truth. )

What a great list, actually! Propose adding Shukhrat Latipov @shukhratlatipov in there too.

@urikguli Congratulations! Well deserved @urikguli

Thank you for the interview, @Roshidoniy. The funds belong to the people of Uzbekistan, and the Fund is fully dedicated to collaborating with civil society to ensure that the money is utilized for impactful projects benefiting ordinary Uzbek citizens.

Curious about New Year celebrations in rural Uzbekistan? Huge thanks to Madina Azam and Holida Musulmon for sharing their beautiful photo stories, giving us a glimpse of the festive spirit in their home villages! gazeta.uz/ru/2024/01/03/…

Exciting news! Four snow leopards spotted together in Uzbekistan. 🐾 With a population estimated at only 30-50 individuals in the country, these majestic creatures remain under-studied. Let's celebrate and continue efforts to protect these beautiful big cats!

More than 10 years ago, #Uzbekistan started monitoring cotton harvest with @ilo support. Today, cotton is free from child & forced labour and working conditions are monitored across supply chain through @Better_Work - here at Global Textiles
