On August 31, 2021, the opening ceremony of the Yangi O’zbekiston Park and the Independence Monument, created on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the country’s independence, took place.

The first trees in the park were planted on May 1 this year. The main attention was paid to the ideological content and architectural solutions of the Yangi O’zbekiston complex. The opinions of historians, creative intelligentsia, representatives of the older generation and youth were taken into account in this process.

From above, the park looks like a giant tree with five branches. This symbolizes the five priority areas of the Action Strategy.

All modern conditions are created in this beautiful garden so that residents of the capital, Tashkent region, guests from all the regions, from abroad could relax with their families and children. An artificial lake, sports and playgrounds, an amphitheater, fountains, trade and service facilities, craft shops have been created here.

There is a majestic example of monumental art – the Independence Monument in the central part of the park.

The complex reflects the rich and unique heritage of our people, the immortal images of our great commanders and warriors, scientists and thinkers, enlighteners-Jadids. The life of Uzbekistan full of trials under the former totalitarian regime, the policy of repression, the courage and resilience of our people in the Second World War are displayed on the bas-reliefs of the monument.

The unique monument is in harmony with the idea of ​​building a new Uzbekistan and the foundation of the third Renaissance in the country. A blue dome symbolizes the state of Sakhibkiran Amir Temur and through it – our national statehood, the Mirzo Ulugbek Observatory against the background of the starry sky, the most important scientific discoveries of our great scientists who have made an invaluable contribution to world science and civilization.

The monument is crowned with the image of the proud bird Humo, spreading its wings, symbolizing peace and freedom, goodness and prosperity.
