Mirziyoyev Gifts Trump Two Traditional Uzbek Ayvans for Washington
World
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has gifted US President Donald Trump two traditional Uzbek ayvans. The structures have already arrived in Washington and are being installed in West Potomac Park, the planned site of the National Garden of American Heroes. Uzbekistan’s Ambassador to the United States Furqat Siddiqov confirmed the gift.
According to the US Department of the Interior, Trump accepted the gift on behalf of the American people. The traditional structures feature Uzbek-style decorative woodcarving. Photographs also show plans to install a chandelier inside one of the ayvans.
Siddiqov said the two ayvans would symbolize friendship and strategic partnership between Uzbekistan and the United States. Visitors are expected to be able to see the structures in the park later this autumn.
The National Garden of American Heroes project remains at an early planning stage. Its individual elements and design plans are subject to the relevant approval procedures. The US Department of Justice has also described the garden as remaining a preliminary concept.
The gift comes amid increasingly active Uzbekistan-US relations. In August, Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Donald Trump reaffirmed the high level of bilateral dialogue and prospects for further strategic partnership. Cooperation currently covers civil aviation, mining, energy, infrastructure, metallurgy and digital technologies, among other areas.
