Moreover, the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan is participating with topics related to the projects for shaping the Second Renaissance exposition.
Promoting the cultural heritage of Uzbekistan extensively, enhancing its tourism potential, and perfecting the expositions related to the Timurid Renaissance at the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan are among the prioritized tasks focused upon by the participants of the Forum.
