Qobuljon Ahmedov: Media cooperation helps strengthen friendship among peoples

At the Third Uzbekistan – Russia Media Forum in Tashkent, Qobuljon Ahmedov, Director of the Media Content Production Center under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, stressed that media cooperation plays a key role in strengthening relations between the two countries.

According to the expert, mutual understanding between peoples is strengthened not only through economic agreements, but also through a shared interest in history, culture, and everyday life.

Proposals included systematically organizing the exchange of ready-made content between the two countries’ media structures, broadcasting joint programs on television channels and digital platforms, jointly producing documentaries, and collaborating on other projects. Qobuljon Ahmedov highlighted the need to organize internships, masterclasses, and training programs for journalists, directors, and cameramen, as well as to exchange experience in artificial intelligence and new technologies.

The Director of the Center invited Russian colleagues to the Tashkent Content Market. The platform serves as a venue for professional dialogue, finding new partners, exchanging technologies, and launching new joint projects.

According to Mr. Ahmedov, the primary outcome of the partnership should be a lively interest among viewers in another country, encouraging them to gain a closer acquaintance with its history, culture, and current reality.
