Current international legal topics such as the law of global trade and investment, environmental protection, sustainable development, and the use of outer space are discussed during the conference.

Uzbekistan delegation provided information on the legal aspects of participation in the international supply chain and entry into the world market. Attention was also focused on environmental protection issues in the context of climate change, rational use of transboundary water resources, and international regulation of space data.

Within the framework of the conference, the Uzbekistan delegation met with AALCO Secretary General Kamalinne Pinitpuvadol, at which prospects for further cooperation between Uzbekistan and the organization were discussed.
