The daughter and assistant of the President of Uzbekistan shared on her Telegram channel that on September 4, an exhibition titled "Abu Reyhan Biruni: Geographic and Intellectual Travels" was opened at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. This project is dedicated to the 1050th anniversary of the birth of the great scholar and thinker.
"Thanks to visual installations, exhibition visitors will be able to see and learn about the life, work, discoveries, and research of Abu Reyhan Biruni. The exhibition also prominently features the manuscripts of the scholar held in the collection of the National Library of France.
I believe that this project will generate significant interest within the European community and further enrich their knowledge about Uzbekistan, which takes pride in the legacy of its great scholars.
I am pleased to announce that Uzbekistan is ready to host the 43rd session of the UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand in 2025! If our proposal is approved, this historic event could change the more than 40-year tradition of holding UNESCO sessions exclusively in Paris," stated Saida Mirziyoyeva.
