It is important to note that our respected President gave special instructions saying: ‘Begin the visits to the Center with the teachers’. We are pleased to welcome you and wish your visit to be blessed. This is an honor for us.

The decoration and finishing works in the complex are still ongoing. Once the Center opens, we hope that under your leadership, other teachers and students will come and witness that this magnificent complex built on the initiative of our President — will become a true source of pride for the Uzbek people”.
