    Emmanuel Macron explores Samarkand with Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev

    Emmanuel Macron explores Samarkand with Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev

    During an official visit to Uzbekistan, French President Emmanuel Macron, alongside his Uzbek counterpart, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, embarked on a night stroll through the ancient city of Samarkand.

    The distinguished leaders explored the breathtaking Registan complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, immersing themselves in the rich history and cultural significance of this remarkable location.

    At the Registan complex, President Macron was introduced to the construction history and intricate designs of this masterpiece of Oriental architecture. The complex's historical significance, famous events, and notable personalities associated with it were presented to the esteemed guest.

    The selection of Samarkand as the starting point for President Macron's visit underscores the historical bonds shared between France and Uzbekistan. These connections can be traced back to Sahibgiron Amir Temur, a prominent commander, patron of trade and science, who exerted considerable influence on the course of events in both Asia and Europe. In the 15th century, a monument, "To the Liberator of Europe," was erected in Paris in his honor, showcasing the enduring historical ties between the two nations. Amir Temur and the French King Charles VI corresponded, covering not only political matters but also trade and economic relations.

    France has produced numerous scientific and artistic works celebrating Sahibqir and the Timurid dynasty. Renowned French thinker and writer Voltaire delved into the life of Mirzo Ulug'bek, while the celebrated author Jules Verne wove tales about the romance of Registan in his novels.

    During their visit to the Registan complex, the French delegation marveled at the awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur of the historical site illuminated by the night lights. In this evocative setting, Presidents Mirziyoyev and Macron shared a momentous photograph.

    Subsequently, the two leaders ventured to the historical-ethnographic complex of the "Eternal City" within the "Great Silk Road" international tourism center. This site is an embodiment of Uzbekistan's rich heritage, housing replicas of landmarks from historical cities and reflecting not only national traditions but also the nation's history of engagement with friendly nations.

    The walls of the Afrosiyab monument depict significant scenes, such as the reception of ambassadors from Korea, China, India, and other countries, underscoring the intersection of history, tradition, and modernity.

    In an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie, Presidents Mirziyoyev and Macron acknowledged Samarkand as one of the world's ancient cradles of civilization. It is transforming into an international hub for summits and tourism. The French delegation had the privilege of experiencing the unique artistic, craft, and musical culture of the Uzbek people, leaving a lasting impression.

    The pinnacle of this visit, including high-level discussions, is scheduled to occur on November 2, further strengthening the bonds between France and Uzbekistan and fostering cultural exchange and cooperation.
