The spirit of renewal of Navruz is in line with the essence of the large-scale reforms carried out in our country
On March 21, Navruz was celebrated in Tashkent's “Yangi Uzbekiston” Park. President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev delivered a speech and congratulated our people on the holiday.
- This year, Navruz is held in the blessed month of Ramadan in consonance with its sacred values, which gives the holiday a special, even deeper meaning. In these gracious days, when our hearts are filled with joy, we once again congratulate the country's Muslims, the entire Islamic Ummah on the holy month of Ramadan, wish the fulfillment of good hopes and aspirations, - said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
The Head of State also expressed warm congratulations to compatriots living abroad, keeping in their hearts love for the Motherland.
It was emphasized that Navruz is a great holiday, which has occupied a special place throughout the three-thousand-year history of our statehood due to its unique spiritual value. Its unique beauty, humanism and deep philosophy are admired all over the world even in the conditions of globalization, testifying to its eternal essence and life-giving power.
The creative spirit inherent in Navruz is consonant with the essence and noble goals of large-scale reforms and rapid transformations carried out in the New Uzbekistan. The country is confidently advancing on the path of strengthening the principles of justice, raising the living standards and incomes of the population, and elevating human honor and dignity.
Modern industrial complexes, infrastructure and logistics facilities, new homes and institutions - from kindergartens and schools to universities, hospitals, cultural and sports facilities - are being built all over the country. Cities and villages are becoming more and more improved.
Within the framework of the nationwide project “Yashil Makon” a new ecological environment is being formed in the country. The state program “Year of Environmental Protection and Green Economy” expands the scope of these efforts.
The President also touched upon youth policy, emphasizing that young people are becoming the leading and creative force of the New Uzbekistan. The achievements of gifted, educated and energetic young men and women, which have contributed to the growth of the country's authority in the international arena, have been noted.
- My dear sons and daughters, the time has come for you to realize your potential to the fullest for the prosperity of the Motherland. Work tirelessly, direct all your energies to turn the enormous opportunities of our country into real, practical results! Always remember that behind you stands a great, almost 38 million nation. And I, as President, will do everything to ensure that each of you occupies a worthy place in life, - said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
The special atmosphere of the holiday is felt at public festivities in the mahallas. The mahalla system is increasingly influencing youth education, stability, poverty reduction, entrepreneurship development, social protection, strengthening the role of women, environmental protection and beautification.
Taking the opportunity, the President cordially congratulated all workers of the mahalla system on their professional holiday - the Day of Mahalla Workers, which is celebrated on March 22.
Navruz has become a favorite holiday of all nationalities and ethnic groups of our country, a symbol of inter-ethnic unity and harmony. In this regard, the President addressed the entire nation:
- Our strength is in unity and cohesion, our power is in love and devotion to our Motherland, our success is in confidence in our abilities!
Due to its universal human essence, Navruz is recognized as an international holiday by the United Nations. This value unites the people of the East, including the countries of Central Asia. In this context, the trilateral meeting of the leaders of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to be held in ancient Khujand in late March will be another practical step towards good-neighborliness and cohesion.
The President congratulated foreign ambassadors and representatives of international organizations attending the Navruz holiday and conveyed warm wishes of friendship to their people.
The festivities continued with a large concert, in which famous artists from Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Türkiye and Tajikistan performed alongside Uzbek artists.
The “Yangi Uzbekiston” park was transformed for the holiday. The grounds were decorated with colorful flowers and flags. Exhibitions of national cultural centers presented the atmosphere of harmony and the rich cultural diversity of the country.
The President viewed these exhibitions and performances by folklore and ethnographic groups.
Festive celebrations continue throughout the country. Dehkans are sowing the future of prosperity and abundance on the table of our people. Improvement and charitable activities are actively carried out in mahallas.
