The Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan, established at the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, is attracting significant international attention. In particular, the visit of the delegation led by Ivan Malenitsa, Chairman of the Committee on the Constitution, Rules of Procedure and Political System of the Croatian Parliament, once again confirmed this. Hrvoje Zekanović, a member of the Croatian Parliament’s cooperation group with Uzbekistan, described the Center as “one of the best museums I have seen in my life.”

At the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, a delegation from the Agency for Innovation and New Technologies under the President of Tajikistan, as well as the Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption, visited the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan. The delegation, led by Akmalzoda Nodir, Head of the Anti-Corruption Department of the Agency for State Financial Control and Combating Corruption, toured all the exhibition halls.

Although the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan has not yet been officially opened, it has already begun to attract the attention of tourism industry representatives. According to tourism experts, today’s traveler can no longer be impressed solely by a historical building or an ancient artifact. They seek a story; they want to see a historical connection with their people and their country. Against this backdrop, a new strategic destination is emerging in Uzbekistan’s tourism sector. The Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan is positioning itself as a new “magnetic point” on the country’s tourism map.

A diplomatic correspondence sent from Central Asia to Europe in the 14th century has not lost its relevance even today. It was precisely this exhibition at the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan that particularly impressed the delegation led by Torbjörn Sohlström, Director-General of the Department for Euro-Atlantic and Security Policy at the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
