A Russian Migration Center for the Streamlined Selection of Citizens to Work in Russia has been opened in the city of Samarkand, and a Permanent Representation Office of the Russian Foreign Ministry has been established in the city of Tashkent to manage the selection process of candidates seeking to work in Russia.
