Also, one of the main goals of the dialogue is the direct discussion of issues of concern to the population with representatives of the competent authorities and, thus, the search for solutions to a number of problems.

Speaking at the event, the participants noted that in the experience of the democratic states of the world, special attention is paid to expanding the participation of civil society institutions in public administration and their role in public control by providing them with support.

At the round table, it was noted that the initiative of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis and the Institute of the Authorized Person of the Oliy Majlis for Human Rights (Ombudsman) to establish an open dialogue between state bodies and civil society provides an opportunity for representatives of the third sector to directly discuss with representatives of the competent authorities the issues they face in the course of their activities and issues of concern to the population.

Eliminating existing shortcomings is important between the state and civil society institutions in ensuring human rights in the country.
