– Today at this event I am glad to see leading entrepreneurs – the most advanced representatives of our society. When we started large-scale reforms in this sphere, both economists and businessmen themselves had certain concerns. But we did not stop, we continued to create conditions with faith in success and energy. We made responsible persons hear entrepreneurs. This has borne fruit – trust between the state and business has been strengthened, the whole society has become an ally of the entrepreneur, – said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
