The meeting supported the remarks made by the Republic of Uzbekistan President Sh.

The conference's primary theme was our nation's rich past, specifically the affluent traditions and historical foundations of our diplomacy. The Academy's masters actually gave reports and presentations on their academic studies of Uzbek diplomacy's history, which spans from antiquity to the present and includes the establishment and growth of the country's independent diplomacy.
