“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those who organized this large-scale international event the ‘Central Asia: shared spiritual and educational heritage – shared future’ international congress and to the country’s leadership, as well as for the opportunity to participate.
It is an honor for me to take part on behalf of my homeland, Tajikistan. As we all know, the main purpose of this congress is to strengthen, preserve, and unite our spiritual heritage, as well as to promote enlightenment.
I am confident that this congress will become an important platform for strengthening spiritual heritage and implementing major collaborative projects. Within the framework of the congress, an international art exhibition of great significance was also organized. The works of renowned and distinguished artists from Central Asian countries were presented there. This is an event of enormous importance for us as well.
Indeed, the spiritual heritage of Central Asia is extraordinarily rich. Therefore, it is inspiring to see that Uzbekistan has naturally become a center of civilization today.
Here, I see the tremendous work, dedication, and talent of our colleagues artists, designers, and craftsmen. After all, where else can one witness such beauty?
