As is known, yesterday, Bishkek hosted a regular meeting of the Council of CIS Heads of State.
At the forum, the parties discussed vital interaction issues in the trade, economic, cultural, humanitarian, transport, logistics, ecology, and security spheres.
Following the events, more than 15 documents were signed, including the agreement “On the establishment of the International Organization for the Russian Language” and the statement “On the promotion of the Russian language as a language of interethnic communication”.
President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, speaking at the Council of Heads of State of the CIS, supported the establishment of an international organization for the Russian language and emphasized the importance of developing a Program for training teachers of technical specialties teaching in Russian.
It is also worth noting the place and significance of our country in the structure of the CIS. Thus, a significant event for Uzbekistan was the proclamation of Samarkand as the Cultural Capital of the Commonwealth in 2024.
In this regard, the Head of Uzbekistan proposed: “In spring next year, Culture, Art and Cinema Week of the CIS Countries will be held in Samarkand”.
The Leader of Uzbekistan also focused on issues of cooperation in youth policy, calling for the resumption of football tournaments for the Commonwealth Cup, with regular meetings of national teams in the youth capital of the CIS next year – the city of Tashkent.
Every citizen of Uzbekistan was incredibly proud when Shavkat Mirziyoyev was awarded an interstate award – the CIS Badge of Honor.
This prestigious award was presented to the President of Uzbekistan for his invaluable contribution to strengthening friendship and good neighborliness, ensuring security and stability, and sustainable socio-economic development of Central Asia and the CIS.
This event demonstrates the place of Uzbekistan and its leader in modern regional and interregional processes.
