It is culture that is the basis for the revival of the country, the rise of the spirituality in society, fostering patriotism in people, especially the younger generation. Thanks to systemic reforms in the field of national culture, Uzbekistan is undergoing a large-scale restoration and study of ancient monuments, scientific and educational work is gaining new momentum, folk art is being supported at the state level, and intangible heritage is being preserved. The country's policy aimed at preserving this heritage is truly admirable. In recent years, it has undergone dramatic changes, which required a truly titanic effort on Your part.
