Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev is currently giving a speech.

"As you know, I spoke about studying the heritage of our great-grandfather Imam al-Bukhari at the 72nd session of the United Nations in 2017, and at that time the President of Turkey, my brother Recep Tayyip Erdogan, supported these ideas. Tashkent's Imam al-Bukhari Islamic University operates in Uzbekistan."

"In the Hadith of Sharif, handed down by our great ancestor, it says, 'deeds depend on intentions.' Therefore, for the in-depth study of Imam Bukhari's heritage in Uzbekistan, we have established the Imam Bukhari International Research Center and the School of Hadith Studies in the land of Samarkand."

"The people of Uzbekistan are well aware and appreciate your personal contribution to bringing the friendly ties between our brotherly countries to the level of comprehensive strategic partnership and effective implementation of mutually beneficial projects.
