The festival, organized in connection with the 25th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Republic of Korea and the 80th anniversary of the ethnic Koreans living in Uzbekistan, became the embodiment of friendship and spiritual closeness of our people.

The festival has started with an exhibition of Korean national clothes, in Zarkainar complex in Tashkent.

People of Uzbekistan and South Korea have similar culture and mentality, they are equally inherent in such qualities as patriotism, diligence, generosity, mutual respect and support, respect for elders and concern for the younger. Koreans, many years ago, by the will of fate found themselves in Uzbekistan, have become full and active members of our society. This is evidenced by the fact that our compatriots of Korean nationality sit in the Legislative Chamber and the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, local Kengashes of people’s deputies, work in the state governing bodies, in all branches of socio-economic life. In the years of independence, more than 300 of them were awarded high state awards. All this serves as a solid basis for the development and further strengthening of cooperation between Uzbekistan and South Korea.
