Staging of the accession to the throne of Khiva Khan Muhammad Rahimkhan Soniy was demonstrated in honor of the visit of the Russian delegation, in Ichan Kala complex. Guests were greatly impressed by this historical monument, which from time immemorial has been and remains a hotbed of science and enlightenment, as well as a demonstrated staging.

The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation highlighted the high historical, architectural and tourism potential of ancient Khiva.

“It is noteworthy that invaluable cultural monuments are being restored while maintaining their original appearance, and the surrounding area is being improved. In particular, there are very few historic settlements in the world that have been preserved in their original form, such as Ichan Kala. It is quite natural that people visiting this complex are overwhelmed with feelings of amazement and delight. This city, which is part of the global tourism industry, demonstrates the high tourism potential of Uzbekistan. It is necessary to inform the public as much as possible about the life of historical personalities living here, their contribution to world civilization. Personally, from now on, I will widely publicize impressions about Khiva not only in Russia, but also abroad”, - said Dmitry Medvedev.
