Amir Temur is regarded as a key historical figure who played a vital role in the restoration of statehood in the 14th century.

An international conference dedicated to Amir Temur and the era of the Temurid Renaissance is also being held in the capital, featuring scientists, cultural representatives, and public figures from various countries.

As part of the policy to preserve historical heritage, major cultural and educational facilities have been constructed in recent years, including the Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent and the Imam Bukhari complex in Samarkand. Additionally, the State Museum of the History of the Temurids has been modernized to serve as a platform for scientific and educational activities.
