The Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan – the modern ambassador of Central Asian science and culture continues to astonish foreign visitors

Civil servants from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Russia, who arrived in our country, decided to visit the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan after watching the Euronews feature dedicated to it. Although the finishing and furnishing works have not yet been fully completed, the foreign guests expressed great admiration for what they saw during their visit.

Within the framework of the international scientific-practical conference organized in Tashkent at the initiative of the Customs Institute under the State Customs Committee, members of the foreign delegations representatives of the customs services of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Russia visited the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan.

As noted by Mirazam Khamraev, Rector of the Customs Institute, the guests showed great interest in visiting the Center after watching the Euronews feature about it. Therefore, a special tour was organized for the delegation.

Gulu Novruzov, Rector of the Azerbaijan Customs Academy, shared his impressions of the Center as follows:

“This Center represents not only Uzbekistan but the entire Turkestan region’s wealth of science, culture, and civilization. The archaeological findings from the pre-Islamic era, especially the ancient textile samples, left a deep impression on me. This place is indeed a part of our shared history.”

Janat Shaimov, a representative of the State Revenue Committee of Kazakhstan, emphasized:

“The exhibitions here feel like living history. We witnessed the development processes from the pre-Islamic era up to the Second Renaissance. This magnificent Center is a great cultural achievement realized under the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan.”

Yuri Somov, Deputy Director of the Research Institute of the Russian Customs Academy, added:

“What amazed me most is the authentic ancient artifacts combined with modern digital technologies. The interactive exhibitions immerse a person into the past as if they were there. This is not just education it is a true experience!”

At the end of the visit, the foreign guests expressed sincere gratitude to the Center’s team. They noted that this place serves as a scientific and spiritual bridge uniting not only the people of Uzbekistan but the entire region, and emphasized that such visits further strengthen cooperation and friendship among nations.
