All this serves as the basis for lasting peace, stability and tranquility in our Motherland”,- said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

In recent years, the extensive work has been done to improve the operational capacity of the defense system. The military command and control system has almost been completely reconstructed. The military-administrative sectors were established. The efficient mechanisms have been established to ensure the interaction of the combat arms. The units capable of promptly performing the arduous tasks have been established. The level of combat and psychological training of troops has increased.

The Academy of the Armed Forces, the newly created Military Medical Academy, as well as the military academic lyceums “Temurbeklar Maktabi” and other specialized educational institutions are becoming a solid basis for training professional personnel for the sphere. There is a growing interest and aspiration for military service among young people.

On the eve of the Day of Defenders of Homeland, a meeting of the Security Council is held annually to discuss the work done in the field and important tasks for the future.

“At yesterday’s meeting, we have outlined big plans to further strengthening our might, develop all aspects of military science and train personnel. Having deeply analyzed the disturbing events taking place in the world and our region, we will take additional measures to ensure the tranquility of our people and the inviolability of our borders. We believe only in our own strength”,- said the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

It was emphasized that the defenders of the Motherland, with their knowledge and qualities, should set an example for the youth.

I am sure that you will be in the forefront of this work and serve as a model for young people with your every action”,- said the President.

The principle “In the name of honor and dignity of the human being” is also embodied in the military sphere. The decent conditions for service and life are being created for the military servicemen.
