First of all, it should be noted that the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miromonovich, has put forward a very important and great concept — the idea of Uzbekistan’s Third Renaissance. As is known, there have been two great Renaissance periods in the history of Uzbekistan, during which the country’s spirituality, culture, architecture, and science reached a high level of development. Today, in the 21st century, Uzbekistan is continuing along this path of progress. The idea of the Third Renaissance is based прежде всего on national spirituality, culture, and historical heritage. The Islamic Civilization Center can truly be considered a practical expression of this idea. In my opinion, there is no analogue to such a center in the world. Today, the role of Islamic civilization is becoming increasingly important. We must study and promote Islamic heritage in harmony with modern life and the new world. From this point of view, this project is a very great and significant initiative. From the very first days, we signed a memorandum of cooperation between TURKSOY and the Islamic Civilization Center. Our relations are very well established. To date, a number of joint projects have been implemented. After the official opening of the Center, many more joint initiatives are planned
