TASHKENT - As participants took their seats at an international conference in Tashkent this month, an official scurrying back and forth making last-minute arrangements suddenly collapsed.
While fellow government workers carried the unconscious man away, colleagues remarked that the official had probably come under too much stress in the run-up to the event. As a result, foreign executives and officials - who are flocking to the Central Asian nation as it is opening up its economy - face an unusual extra task during meetings with local bureaucrats - making sure their counterpart is awake.
Government workers in the former Soviet republic of 33 million have a long-running tradition not leaving the office until their boss does so. But life became even tougher when reformist leader Shavkat Mirziyoyev succeeded conservative President Islam Karimov following the latter’s death in 2016.
