The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Ashgabat held a briefing for media representatives on the occasion of the celebration of two significant dates in the history of the country – the 583rd anniversary of Alisher Navoi’s birth and the 541st anniversary of Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur’s birth.

Ambassador Akmaljon Kuchkarov informed about the state and prospects of cooperation between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan in key areas, emphasizing the cultural and humanitarian component.

In this context, the diplomat highlighted the opening of the Ashgabat Park in the center of Tashkent, the street named after Magtymguly, as well as the Uzbek-Turkmen House of Friendship and the Ully Hovli memorial complex in Khiva, and the Tashkent Park in Ashgabat.

He also noted that one of the central avenues of the Turkmen capital is named after Alisher Navoi, a monument installed on the Inspiration Park (Turkmen: Ylham seýilgähi), located along this avenue.

In his speech, the Ambassador drew the attention of those gathered to two significant dates – the 583rd anniversary of the great poet and thinker Alisher Navoi and the 541st anniversary of Zahiraddin Muhammad Babur’s birth, a poet, historian, and statesman.

These prominent figures are significant not only for the Uzbek people, but also for the Turkmen people, because our neighboring countries and their cultures, with their unique features, are united in many ways by a common and indivisible heritage.

The diplomat emphasized that in the work of Magtymguly in Uzbekistan, they see a continuation of the work of Alisher Navoi.
