Reforms in the field of culture and art in New Uzbekistan
An international forum was held in Tashkent as part of the International Week of Cultural Heritage on the topic "Reforms in Culture and Arts in New Uzbekistan."
The Minister of Culture, Ozodbek Nazarbekov, opened the forum with an introductory speech and presented a report.
In his speech, the Minister noted that our ancestors always raised the flag of enlightenment against ignorance, and their minds and talents were dedicated to science, culture, and development. From this blessed region, great scholars such as Kharezmi, Fargani, Bеruni, Zamakhshari, and others became outstanding figures. It is no coincidence that Navoi and Babur Mirzo became great poets.
"We see how, under the leadership of our President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Uzbekistan is placing a significant emphasis on the development of science, culture, art, and literature. In this context, he emphasized the importance of strengthening the spiritual and philosophical immune system of our youth to maintain peace and tranquility in the country," the minister noted.
The forum was attended by international organizations, including the Secretary-General of TURKSOY, Sultan Raev, the Secretary-General of the Turkmen Parliament Assembly, Mehmet Süreyya Er, the President of the Turkmen Cultural and Heritage Foundation, Aktoti Raimkulova, and others, who presented their interesting reports.
Additionally, online participants included ICOMOS expert Kristina Iamandi and Professor Eric Hubert from the University of Urban Planning, France.
"The long-term efforts of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to renew Uzbekistan, create a new image for the country, and implement democratic reforms based on national values are undoubtedly changing not only the lives but also the consciousness of the citizens of Uzbekistan," said Sultan Raev, Secretary-General of TURKSOY, a well-known writer and publicist. He also emphasized that the constructive foreign policy being conducted helps Uzbekistan restore and strengthen its traditional position in Central Asia and the Turkic world.
During the forum, several projects were presented, including "Living History," the publication of the book "Musical Instruments of Turkic States," as well as an exhibition of national instruments from Uzbekistan and the play "Chulpon."
