The second meeting of the Russian-Uzbek Interdepartmental Working Group on Migration was held in Tashkent. The working group was established pursuant to the agreements reached between the heads of the supervisory authorities of the two countries.

The first meeting was held in 2025 in Moscow under the leadership of the Deputy Prosecutors General of Russia and Uzbekistan.

In the Uzbek capital, the Russian delegation was led by Petr Gorodov, Deputy to Prosecutor General, Aleksandr Gutsan, who assigned him to the task. The delegation also included staff from key divisions of the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, the Ministry of Health of Russia, the Ministry of Labor of Russia, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, and the Ministry of Education of Russia. Representatives of the Prosecutor General's Office and a number of other relevant Uzbek agencies participated from the Uzbek side.

During the meeting, participants discussed pressing problems in the migration sphere requiring joint responses and the development of common solutions. In particular, they reviewed the outcomes of the migration amnesty program implemented in Russia, examined issues related to obtaining patents for labor activity, touched on mechanisms for exchanging information on identified violations, and discussed prospects for expanding the treaty and legal framework.

Special attention was paid to the preventive, informational, and explanatory work conducted by foreign colleagues among citizens planning to travel to the Russian Federation. The primary goal of this work is to ensure the acquisition and maintenance of legal status in Russia, as well as strict compliance with Russian legislation.

Following the meeting, the parties reached agreed positions, outlined paths for further joint work, and signed a corresponding protocol.

The next meeting of the working group is scheduled for the second half of 2026 in Russia.
