As part of the event, a reception ceremony for scholarship recipients of the El-Yurt Umidi Foundation was held, during which participants exchanged views about their educational experiences in the United States, scientific activities, and projects related to Uzbekistan.

During the reception, representatives from the Embassy of Uzbekistan and the Foundation’s leadership emphasized the importance of creating conditions that enable Uzbek youth studying in the United States to achieve outstanding results. The students were also encouraged to mobilize their knowledge to develop their homeland.

Additionally, an evening of Uzbek culture was organized to strengthen cultural ties between Uzbekistan and the United States and to promote Uzbekistan’s national heritage.

Representatives of U.S. universities attending the cultural evening noted that Uzbek culture made a significant impression on them and that such initiatives play an essential role in fostering cultural cooperation between the two nations.
