A press conference was held at the Tax Committee on the topic of 'AI SOLIQ – a new generation digital platform based on artificial intelligence.' The event included the leadership and specialists of the Tax Committee, representatives of mass media, and bloggers.
As emphasized at the conference, the launch of the AI SOLIQ platform is part of the major reforms being implemented in the country regarding the digitalization of public services and serves to modernize tax administration using modern technologies.
Currently, through the ai.soliq.uz platform, entrepreneurs, accountants, and organization leaders can use artificial intelligence to analyze tax data in real-time, obtain legal interpretations, and quickly access information related to their activities. The platform operates in an interactive chat format, which allows users to analyze company activities within a few seconds, determine the reasons for electronic invoices falling into the high-risk ('red') category, and receive quick and practical answers regarding tax ratings, current tax benefits, reports, and other issues related to tax administration.
AI SOLIQ is not only a digital consultant for taxpayers but also an innovative platform that integrates artificial intelligence solutions developed by the Tax Committee into a single system. Jahongir Abdiyev, Deputy Chairman of the Tax Committee, emphasized that the platform's 'AI Corporation' service deeply analyzes the company's tax status, shows problematic areas and their possible causes, and provides practical recommendations for eliminating shortcomings. This allows entrepreneurs to independently assess their activities without appealing to state bodies.
Furthermore, the 'AI Benefits' service identifies the benefits available to taxpayers, explains the conditions for their use, and analyzes the reasons for previously rejected applications. The 'AI Reporting' service analyzes tax reports based on artificial intelligence and presents required reports, their deadlines, potential errors, and recommendations for correcting them. Currently, the development of 'AI Appeals' and 'AI Assistant' intelligent services is in its final stages and will be put into use in the near future.
It was noted at the press conference that high importance was placed on information security during the development of the platform. All AI solutions operate in a protected information environment, ensuring that tax and personal data are not transferred to external platforms. Access rights to the system are strictly monitored. Moreover, recommendations provided by artificial intelligence are used under human supervision, and decisions of legal significance are made only by responsible specialists.
As stressed at the event, artificial intelligence is being introduced not to replace human labor, but to increase its efficiency, automate repetitive processes, and improve the quality of management decisions. Today, AI technologies are being widely used not only in digital services for taxpayers but also in the internal operations of tax authorities, enabling rapid analysis of large volumes of data, risk assessment, and making effective management decisions.
According to the data, work in this area began under the initiative of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan at the beginning of this year, as part of the activities of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and today it functions as the main center for developing AI solutions aimed at improving tax administration, creating innovative digital services, and enhancing the quality of public services.
In the context of the modern world, marked by geopolitical instability and ethnic conflicts in various parts of the globe, maintaining stability and social cohesion has become a crucial task for any state. On the occasion of Peoples' Friendship Day, the President sent festive greetings to the people, which are not just words of gratitude but reflect a clear vision and strategic approach to a united and cohesive society in the country.
As the President emphasized, the idea that 'Our strength lies in unity and solidarity' has ceased to be an empty slogan; it has transformed into the daily lifestyle of millions of citizens and the driving force of society. The land of Uzbekistan has always been a meeting place for various civilizations, cultures, and beliefs, making it a cradle of tolerance.
The values of a people who, in difficult times, welcomed representatives of others onto their land and shared their bread have today been elevated to the level of state policy. In New Uzbekistan, ensuring interethnic harmony is implemented on an institutional basis. Adopted regulatory legal acts and the concept of state policy in the field of interethnic relations serve as a reliable shield guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of more than 130 peoples and ethnicities, as well as 16 religious confessions residing in the country.
Representatives of various nationalities living in this tolerant environment feel this daily. For example, a teacher belonging to the Russian people noted that all conditions have been created for free communication in Russian, quality education of children in their native language, and the celebration of national holidays. He also stressed that the system of teaching in seven languages in 157 national cultural centers and schools of Uzbekistan is a vivid testament to the high attention and respect for representatives of different nations.
Furthermore, cultural demonstration occurs through broadcasts in different languages in the mass media, as well as through the publication of newspapers and magazines, which contributes to the preservation of each nation's culture. The diversity of cultures is demonstrated by the pavilions of national cultural centers in the capital, the 'Garden of Tolerance' in 'New Uzbekistan' park, and ethnographic and tourist villages in the regions.
Reforms in this area are not limited only to the cultural sphere, but are also reflected in social and political life. Dozens of deputies, senators, state and public figures, renowned scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs from different nationalities have achieved success. The fact that about 2 thousand such people have been awarded high state orders and medals shows that human value is paramount.
Art serves as the most powerful force uniting different cultures. The President's initiative to create the professional ensemble 'Friendship' from representatives of different peoples is an important creative step in service of universal unity and cohesion. The model of Uzbekistan in matters of interethnic harmony plays a significant role not only within the country but also in strengthening the atmosphere of good neighborliness, openness, and mutual trust throughout the Central Asian region. The liberalization of movement and the expansion of economic and humanitarian ties testify to the realization of the eternal dreams of the peoples of the region.
A Kazakh representative shared his opinion on regional friendship and the future: 'We well know that the peoples of Central Asia lived based on common goals since ancient times. In recent years, the opening of borders with neighboring countries and the establishment of free movement have strengthened the ties between our families and peoples. We have united on the path to a common future and goal.'
Peoples' Friendship Day is not just a holiday or an external formality, but a sacred human value that is a reliable guarantee of peace, freedom, and prosperity of our country. The unification of all representatives of different peoples around a common goal and the feeling of Motherland will play a key role in achieving the heights of New Uzbekistan.
To practically apply scientific and technical achievements, commercialize innovative ideas, and produce high value-added products, three new spin-off enterprises have been established at higher educational institutions in the Syrdarya region.
This initiative is highly significant for strengthening cooperation between education, science, and production, as well as for developing innovative entrepreneurship by implementing scientific developments created by scientists, teachers, and students.
The following enterprises have been launched in the region: 'GulDPI Edu Tech Mediya Press' LLC at Gulistan State Pedagogical Institute, 'GulDU Agro Future Green' Spin-off LLC at Gulistan State University, and 'Yangiyer Food Tech' LLC at the Yangiyer Branch of Tashkent Chemical Technology Institute.
Ghiyos Doniyorov, Deputy Director for Academic Affairs of the Yangiyer Branch of Tashkent Chemical Technology Institute, noted that these companies will work in the areas of creating digital platforms and multimedia products for the education sector, implementing innovative agricultural technologies in agriculture, improving technologies for producing environmentally friendly products, deep processing of food products, developing modern packaging solutions, and applying advanced technologies in production processes.
The main task of spin-off enterprises is to transform scientific ideas and developments from laboratory samples into products, and then bring them to the market as competitive goods and services. This contributes to increasing the economic efficiency of scientific potential, creating new jobs, producing export-oriented products, and increasing the investment attractiveness of the region.
Furthermore, these enterprises serve as an effective practical platform for students and young scientists, helping them implement innovative projects, develop startup initiatives, and build entrepreneurial skills.
In the first half of 2026, three spin-off enterprises were created in the region, over 10 innovative projects were developed, work began on creating more than 20 new products, and over 50 young people and students were involved in innovative processes.
According to Ghiyos Doniyorov, the expansion of spin-off company activities brings the integration of science and production to a new level. This promotes the formation of an innovation ecosystem in the region, the widespread adoption of modern technologies in economic sectors, an increase in the share of local high value-added products, and the strengthening of export potential. He emphasized that this initiative lays a solid foundation for ensuring the innovative development and competitive economy of the Syrdarya region.
The Islamic Republic of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps reported that a strike was carried out on a US military facility located in the Al-Tanf area of Syria on Saturday.
According to state media of the Islamic Republic, this attack was conducted as an act of retaliation for the deaths of local soldiers in Aranshahr. Official confirmation of this information is currently unavailable.
Reuters stated that it could not conduct an independent verification of the situation. US military forces and the Syrian government also made no comments on the matter. It was previously known that the American army had completely left the base in Al-Tanf, which was located at a strategic point on the border of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq in February of this year.
Currently, the Syrian leadership seeks to avoid interference in the regional conflict affecting neighboring states. It is known that Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon is engaged in combat operations against the Israeli army, while armed groups linked to Iran continuously strike US bases in Iraq with drones and missiles.
President Ahmad al-Sharrah emphasized at an event by the Chatham House analytical center in London in March that the country will remain aloof from any turmoil if neither side initiates direct attacks on Syrian territory.
Iranian military forces announced full control of the Strait of Hormuz by the Tehran command, which is of strategic importance. State media warns that if strikes from the US continue, no oil or gas exports will be permitted through this waterway.
