Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev delivered a праздничный address during nationwide celebrations of Navruz, which this year coincided with the sacred holiday of Eid al-Fitr.

The head of state highlighted the symbolic significance of the convergence of the two major holidays, comparing them to two great rivers merging into a single flow. He extended congratulations to the multinational people of Uzbekistan, as well as compatriots living abroad, wishing peace, well-being, and prosperity to all.

Mirziyoyev emphasized that Navruz has for centuries symbolized the renewal of nature, spiritual purification, kindness, and unity. According to him, these days vividly reflect social cohesion and the country’s creative potential. This year’s celebrations are being held under the motto “Glorifying Navruz means glorifying humanity.”

Special attention was given to the role of farmers and dehkan households, whose work ensures the country’s food security. The President expressed gratitude for their contributions and reaffirmed continued support from the state and society.

Mirziyoyev also highlighted the importance of youth, describing them as the “golden generation” of New Uzbekistan.
