In a bid to boost the popularity of halal products from Uzbekistan and promote pilgrimage tourism destinations, the Embassy of Uzbekistan in London recently played host to a significant meeting with Eman Mustafa, CEO of the British Islamic Trade Association, the National Information Agency of Uzbekistan reported. The gathering highlighted the potential for enhanced bilateral trade and economic relations through the active involvement of Uzbekistan's tourism companies and halal product manufacturers in major exhibitions organized by the British Islamic Trade Association.
During the meeting, the head of the British association commended the ongoing reforms in Uzbekistan's tourism sector, especially the favorable conditions created for tourist pilgrims. Information about the country's infrastructure, including hotels, halal restaurants, a new tourist complex in Samarkand, and examples of folk arts and crafts, was presented to the attendees.
One of the major outcomes of the discussions was an agreement to widely promote Uzbekistan's tourism potential among the Muslim British public. Both parties committed to collaborative promotional activities and the active participation of Uzbekistan travel companies in halal tourism festivals scheduled in the United Kingdom.
This initiative aims to deepen cultural ties between Uzbekistan and the United Kingdom while showcasing the diverse and rich offerings of Uzbekistan's halal products and pilgrimage tourism destinations to a broader audience.

The entire healthcare project, which comes with an allocated budget of $250,000, will be fully funded by LEEP, showcasing a commitment to international collaboration in addressing public health concerns.
