You may like to visit the Embassy website – this may prove of interest.

Islam Karimov is quoted ;

“Our country, our people, will go forward on the road of our cherished goal, stated at the beginning of independence - the building of a legal democratic state and civil society. Our main goal is democratization and renewal of society, reform and modernization. No one can turn us from our chosen path - the attainment of a high standard of living, meeting the demands of a modern, democratic civil society.”

If attending it would be helpful to contact Iain Orr biodiplomacy+at+yahoo.co.uk so that any changes to plan can be passed on.
