In a carefully planned humanitarian operation carried out in cooperation between the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington and the Agency for External Labor Migration, three Uzbek citizens who found themselves in difficult life circumstances in Poland were successfully returned home. This was reported by Upl.uz.
This measure was implemented within the framework of the state program "Return to Homeland," aimed at providing comprehensive assistance to our compatriots abroad. Among those returned were D.A. from Tashkent
and his mother S.A.
Their prolonged stay in the European Union was due to the necessity of undergoing a complex and lengthy course of treatment. Their return was made possible not only through diplomatic measures but also thanks to the active assistance of representatives of the Uzbek diaspora in Poland.
Special attention should be given to 21-year-old O.K. He is from the Tashkent region and fell victim to a fraud scheme organized via the Telegram messenger.
The young man, who suffered losses, was deprived of identity documents, remained in an illegal status, and was unable to return home on his own. Unfortunately, cases of digital fraud are common and pose a significant threat to labor migrants.
All three citizens will receive comprehensive assistance upon arrival in Uzbekistan. Relevant state bodies and public organizations will ensure their legal, psychological, and social support, helping them to adapt to society more quickly.
Additionally, the importance of awareness campaigns about risks and prevention methods for citizens traveling abroad is emphasized. In recent years, the Republic of Poland has become one of the main destinations for labor migration from Uzbekistan.
In response to this trend and to strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of our compatriots, the position of labor migration attaché has been established at several Uzbek diplomatic missions abroad, including in Poland. This measure aims to provide effective assistance to Uzbeks abroad and to create a system for prompt response to arising issues.
The "Return to Homeland" program is part of Uzbekistan's comprehensive state policy to support compatriots abroad. From July 30 to August 18, 2025 alone, a total of 621 of our citizens were returned home from various countries around the world under this initiative, three of whom were from Poland.
