В ходе визита делегация приняла участие в работе "круглых столов" в Вильнюсском университете Литвы, Сейме Латвии и Посольства Узбекистана в Риге.

В мероприятиях участвовали депутаты, представители научных, общественных кругов, СМИ и наблюдатели, которые примут участие в мониторинге за проведением предстоящих парламентских выборов в Узбекистане.

Члены узбекской делегации рассказали участникам конференции о реформах, реализуемых в Узбекистане во всех сферах, политических партиях, правовой основе и особенностях избирательного процесса в нашей стране.

Была предоставлена информация об условиях, созданных для участия в выборах граждан Узбекистана и студентов, проживающих за рубежом. Представители Литвы и Латвии высоко оценили результаты реформ, реализуемых в нашей стране, и выразили заинтересованность стран Балтии в развитии сотрудничества с Узбекистаном.

В частности, ректор Вильнюсского университета Римвидас Петраускас заявил, что сегодня Узбекистан становится ведущей страной региона. Открытая внешняя политика, проводимая Президентом республики, превратила страну в локомотив развития мира и стабильности в Центральной Азии.

Депутат Сейма Латвии, руководитель межпарламентской группы дружбы с Узбекистаном Андрис Кульбергс высоко оценил введение нового порядка проведения выборов в Законодательную палату Республики Узбекистан на основе смешанной избирательной системы. По его словам, реализуемые в Узбекистане политические и экономические реформы служат дальнейшему развитию страны и одновременно повышают привлекательность для бизнесменов и инвесторов стран ЕС, в том числе Латвии.

По мнению директора Института международных отношений Латвии Карлиса Буковскиса, сегодня Узбекистан является главным партнером Риги в Центральной Азии. Учитывая события, происходящие в мире, развитие сотрудничества между Узбекистаном и европейскими странами в экономическом, экологическом, энергетическом, транспортно-логистическом направлениях становится актуальным. В этой связи латвийская сторона отметила, что заинтересована в активизации взаимодействия во всех сферах.
