Pakistan's national news agency APP has published an article on the outcomes of the international summit "Investing in Children: Towards Sustainable and Equitable Development for Future Generations" in Samarkand. Held on October 21-22 and organised by the Uzbek government with UN specialised agencies and the World Bank, the summit brought together first ladies, ministers, international organisation representatives and the public.

The Samarkand Declaration adopted at the summit sets goals of protecting children from violence and exploitation, expanding access to quality education and healthcare, and increasing investment in their wellbeing. Shahnoza Mirziyoyeva, First Deputy Director of Uzbekistan's National Agency for Social Protection, stressed that ensuring children's safety, health and dignity is the most important and primary condition for their bright future.

The article also notes the opening of the multidisciplinary Imkon centre in Samarkand, combining preschool education, special pedagogical support and medical-rehabilitation care. Its preschool department is designed for 150 children, and its outpatient unit can provide rehabilitation and special teaching support to about 100 children a month.
