    Among the esteemed recipients were:

    • Stepan Leonidovich Gurzhiy - Vice-President for Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa of Lukoil, a Russian joint-stock company.
    • Muhammad Abunayyan - Chairman of the Board of ACWA Power Company, hailing from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

    Previous Notable Recipients 

    Other distinguished recipients of the Order of Friendship are notable figures including Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was honored with the esteemed Friendship Order of the Highest Degree in 2022. In the same year, President Xi Jinping graciously accepted the Order of Friendship, bestowed upon him by the Uzbek president during a ceremony at the prestigious International Conference Center in Samarkand. Adding to the significance of this award, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev also extended the Order of Friendship to the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in 2020.

    What is the Order of Friendship?

    The pinnacle of this recognition, the Highest Degree Friendship Order, was established in 2020 and stands as Uzbekistan's most prestigious state decoration for foreign nationals and stateless individuals. This illustrious honor is reserved for leaders of nations and governments, including the President of Uzbekistan, as well as delegates from international parliaments and organizations, along with influential personalities from diverse domains, both within Uzbekistan and beyond.

    As Uzbekistan looks ahead to a future filled with promise, the honored investors remain exemplars of the positive impact that international cooperation can bring to the table.
