Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva, the second daughter of Uzbek president Islam Karimov who died last year, will step down soon as Uzbekistan's representative at UNESCO, she said on Monday.
Karimova-Tillyaeva, 39, said she would focus on helping run a charitable foundation named after her father died last September.
"In the near future, I plan to step down from my role as ambassador in order to focus on my family, personal goals, (and) projects being implemented by the Islam Karimov foundation as well as other creative, charitable and cultural projects," Karimova-Tillyaeva said at a conference on Uzbekistan's Islamic cultural and scientific heritage.
