The participants of the 6th International Congress Cultural Heritage of Uzbekistan – the Foundation of a New Renaissance and members of the World Society for the Study, Preservation and Popularization of the Cultural Heritage of Uzbekistan approved the final Declaration in the Registan Square.
The final document emphasizes: "Following direct initiative by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev, the foundation of a New Renaissance is being laid in Uzbekistan, which is also expressed in the fundamental transformations in the spiritual and educational sphere."
The researchers also noted that large-scale events in the field of humanities and culture are being organized and held in Uzbekistan, and a state program has been adopted for 10 years to improve the work of state museums and strengthen their material and technical base in 2017-2027. The establishment of 7 new museums in Samarkand this year exemplifies it in the best way. The Silk Road International University of Tourism was opened.
The ceremonial election of Uzbekistan as a member of the UNESCO Committee for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage, held in Paris at the 8th session of the General Assembly of the Member States of the Convention "On the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage" became an extremely important recognition of the country's efforts aimed at preserving the unique cultural heritage of the past centuries.
"For the six years that the World Society for the Study, Preservation and Popularization of the Cultural Heritage of Uzbekistan has been active, 60 volumes of an exclusive international series, Cultural Heritage of Uzbekistan in World Collections, have been published. Work continues on the series Architectural Epigraphy of Uzbekistan and Culture and Science of Uzbekistan in the Works of Scholars, over 60 films have been shot, many media forums have been held in Uzbekistan and abroad. All this fruitful action program, ensuring a productive dialogue between researchers, would have been impossible without the support of the President and the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan, socially responsible business represented by Eriell Group, a number of international humanitarian organizations," the declaration says.
