Ambassador Aloev announced that this is the first ‘Uzbek Week’ event in Kuwait, which concludes today. “It is with great satisfacti­on that we launch this initiative this year when Kuwait is the capital of the Islamic culture, and thanks to the vision of His Highness the Amir, great importance is being given to the developmen­t of cultural relations,” the envoy said. Art and culture are the link that connects countries to each other, he noted, adding that the event aims to bring more Uzbek culture to Kuwait, concentrat­ing during a week on a range of art exhibition­s, concerts, lectures, and several activities to increase the excellent relations between Uzbekistan and Kuwait.

“We wish that this initiative will attract the enthusiast­ic participat­ion of our Kuwaiti friends,” Aloev said. “Special thanks go, first of all, to the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters, for the important support in the organizati­on of three beautiful concerts. Then to our generous sponsors, who helped us make this Uzbek Week come true.”
