Sherzod Asadov: Media Forum on Islamic Civilization to Mark the Start of Long-Term Dialogue
Sherzod Asadov, Press Secretary to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, delivered opening remarks at the forum. He highlighted the symbolic significance of holding the event at the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, established at the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

According to Asadov, Islamic civilization is, above all, a civilization of science, enlightenment, thought and tolerance. The legacy of great scholars and thinkers, he noted, is not only a historical heritage but also a living intellectual legacy closely connected with contemporary scientific, cultural and innovative development.

The presidential press secretary stressed the importance of presenting this heritage to international audiences through modern digital formats and media solutions that are accessible to younger generations.

“We view this forum not as a one-time event, but as the beginning of long-term professional dialogue and cooperation,” Asadov said. He added that discussions and new initiatives launched during the forum could help present Uzbekistan’s civilizational heritage to the global information space.

The forum is being held in Tashkent and Samarkand. Its programme includes plenary sessions, thematic media exhibitions, press briefings, bilateral meetings and masterclasses for students. Discussions cover documentary filmmaking, historical memory, publishing projects, modern technologies and the development of international media cooperation.
