We are extremely interested in economic reforms, how the country is developing and presenting itself to the whole world," Vargas added. 'The liberalization of the information sphere is one of the priorities of New Uzbekistan. Thanks to the political will of the president, we have made significant progress in strengthening journalistic freedoms, expanding access to information, and encouraging open dialogue between media, society, and the state', Asadov stated. He added that the Euronews presence in Uzbekistan will serve as a key tool in helping young people access objective, global perspectives and foster critical thinking. The Euronews Tashkent team has already hit the ground running. Local journalists and producers have been working to create content across a variety of flagship formats including 'Focus', 'Silk Road Adventures','Changemakers', 'Business Line'.
