In the Republic of Belarus, a photo exhibition titled 'Yangi O‘zbekiston' (New Uzbekistan) was organized as part of the observance of 'Uzbekistan Culture Days.'
The exhibition featured about one hundred photographs reflecting a wide range of transformations taking place in Uzbekistan. The exposition showcases the modern appearance of the country, its historical and cultural heritage, unique architectural monuments, picturesque nature, national values, and the daily life of the people.
Visitors were able to get a detailed overview of the development path of New Uzbekistan, its ancient and modern aspects, tourism potential, and rich cultural heritage through the presented images. The photo exhibition generated significant interest among the Belarusian public, representatives of the culture and art sectors, as well as Uzbek artists.
Attendees highly appreciated the historical landmarks, modern construction projects, and national traditions captured in the photos, gaining a vivid understanding of Uzbekistan's current progress. This exhibition contributes to strengthening cultural and humanitarian ties between the two states and also helps widely promote Uzbekistan's rich cultural heritage and modern development to an international audience.
As part of the 65th International Flower Festival in the Chust district of Namangan region, traditional days of 'Uzbek Palov Culture' and a plov cooking championship were organized.
Thanks to these events, held at the Mavlono Lutfulloh Botanical Garden, it became even livelier with visitors arriving from afar to watch the 'Plov Championship'. More than twenty amateur chefs from local mahallas, organizations, and institutions demonstrated their skills, hanging cauldrons and preparing plov in a specially designated area.
One of the important parts of the event was the ceremony of presenting a certificate from the Ministry of Justice stating that 'Chust Plov' has been included in the state register as a geographical indication. The assignment of a geographical indication status guarantees the legal protection of the name and the traditional preparation technology of 'Chust Plov'. Furthermore, this status confirms the product's compliance with state food standards and expands the possibilities for promoting the region's gastronomic brand internationally.
During the competition, the prepared plovs were evaluated based on taste, presentation, and other characteristics, after which the chefs received appropriate rewards.
