During the meeting, the state of preparations for the official opening ceremony of the Center, expected this year, was discussed. The Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, established on the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, will serve as an international scientific and educational hub and play an important role in widely promoting Uzbekistan’s spiritual and intellectual heritage to the world.

As noted at the event, it is planned to hold a Global Exhibition at the Center under the theme “Uzbekistan’s Cultural Heritage – the Property of All Humanity”. The exhibition will involve 43 prestigious foreign museums and libraries. With the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, and the embassies, a list of nearly 1,000 exhibits from foreign collections has been compiled, including rare manuscripts, historical documents, and works.

The Center also plans to publish facsimile editions of about 200 manuscripts preserved abroad and display works related to scholars such as Abu Rayhan Beruni, Ibn Sina, Mirzo Ulughbek, Alisher Navoi, and Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur, as well as historical Qur’an copies. In addition, 61 important exhibits will be recreated as models, and the necessary guarantees, insurance, and showcase arrangements for their safe transportation, storage, and display have been prepared.

It was emphasized that this Global Exhibition will be an important event in further strengthening New Uzbekistan’s international standing and its scientific and educational potential.
