Honorable Islam Karimov

I recently visited Tashkent to attend a international conference. I have no words to express the beauty, simplicity, boldness, dedication, cooperation, national pride, collaboration and above all their shakable believe in humanity. Its economy does work in integration. It does care about each and every sector of life. It is indeed ideal combination of tradition and modernity. For centuries Tashkent is a hub of civilization, commitment, courage, struggle, service, sensibility, delivery and the last not the least home of intellectuals and warriors too. It is heaven on earth. Continue reading »
