The International Automobile Federation (FIA) Delegation Visited the Islamic Civilization Center

As part of the “FIA General Assemblies Week,” the delegation of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), accompanied by officials of the National Olympic Committee, visited the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan and became thoroughly acquainted with the rich historical and cultural heritage housed there. During the visit, delegation members were presented with comprehensive information about the civilization of Uzbekistan, its scientific and cultural development, and the periods of renaissance.

The delegation’s tour began with the section dedicated to the pre-Islamic period. As the guests explored the original artifacts, manuscripts, and archaeological findings on display, they paid special attention to their preservation and scientifically grounded presentation.

Diana Chartier, FIA Championships Accreditation Project Manager, shared her impressions, saying:

“What we saw at the Center exceeded our initial expectations. It is immediately evident that everything has been prepared with great care and attention. One can clearly feel the immense effort that has gone into presenting the history of Uzbekistan here.”

The guests were then shown the exhibitions devoted to the First and Second Renaissance periods. The interactive solutions, 3D models, artifacts, scientific discoveries, and visual materials created using modern technologies sparked great interest among the delegation members.

“The harmony between lighting, music, and visual elements makes the experience even more impactful. The exhibitions are prepared at a highly professional level, very informative, and with an exceptionally creative approach,” said FIA representative David Fresney.

During the visit, the guests also toured the “New Uzbekistan — the Foundation of a New Renaissance” section, where they became familiar with large-scale reforms being implemented in the country, as well as new approaches to scientific, educational, and cultural development. This section also left a strong impression on the visitors, who noted that the exhibitions were organized in a modern style, with logical continuity and a high level of cultural sophistication.

“In this place, the process of development from ancient history to the present day is presented in a very profound and vivid way. The harmony between historical artifacts and modern interactive technologies captivates the visitor. For us, it was a great honor to see this Center before its official opening,” said Australian visitor Andrew Bishop.

At the conclusion of the visit, delegation members expressed high praise for the Center’s activities, its scientific and organizational work, and the modern orientation of its exhibitions. They described the Islamic Civilization Center as a major intellectual platform that strengthens cultural and educational exchange not only in Uzbekistan, but across the entire region.
