Dear guests!

Samarkand, located at the crossroads of the Great Silk Road, has again become a place where global initiatives are being implemented. So, in this ancient city, the Global Forum "Human Rights Education" was held. The initiative to hold this prestigious international forum was put forward by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan at the 76th session of the UN General Assembly and the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council.

During the official visit of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to France, at the invitation of the President of France Emmanuel Macron, the heads of the two states opened two major exhibitions: “The Splendours of Uzbekistan’s Oases. At the Crossroads of Caravan Routes” in the Louvre and “The Road to Samarkand. Miracles of Silk and Gold” at the Arab World Institute.
