Rarely do events within international organizations emerge that can truly symbolize a new era. The convening of the 43rd session of the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the ancient city of Samarkand stands as one such landmark moment.

In recent years, there has been a significant enhancement in the relations between Uzbekistan and Qatar. In particular, in 2024, relations between the two countries were elevated to the level of strategic partnership.

The development of such active dialogue is explained by the high interest of the parties in both expanding bilateral relations and strengthening regional ties between Central and Southeast Asia.

On October 30, on the sidelines of the 43rd session of the UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev held talks with President of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini.

On October 30, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, will take part in the opening ceremony of the 43rd session of the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which will be held in the city of Samarkand.

At the conclusion of the Uzbek-Serbian summit talks at the Kuksaroy residence, a tree planting ceremony was held.

During the meeting, the parties discussed opportunities for expanding diplomatic cooperation and bilateral relations, and agreed to continue active dialogue in the future.

The meeting took place in an atmosphere of mutual respect and sincerity. The sides discussed the activities of the diplomatic missions of both countries and prospects for future cooperation.
We are confident that this meeting will help elevate the friendly relations between our diplomatic missions to a new level.

15 teams from the Asian continent took part in it, including the women's national team of Uzbekistan. Rugby players of our country fought in group "A".
