I am pleased with my visit to the International Islamic Studies Academy of Uzbekistan, because today the relations between the two countries have reached a new level thanks to the friendly relations between Presidents Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Donald Trump.
During the visit, I became acquainted with the historical monuments and memorial complexes on the Academy’s territory, as well as the activities of the “Treasury of Sources.” I was greatly impressed by the combination of history and modernity. This encourages young people to be raised with respect for the past and confidence in the future. Moreover, after reviewing the three volumes of the “Encyclopedia of Islam,” we planned to cooperate with BYU University in the future translation and editing process into English.
