Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev extended greetings to the nation on the occasion of Ramadan Hayit, highlighting the importance of peace, unity, and spiritual development.

The president highlighted the progress of the New Uzbekistan, noting that wide-ranging reforms in all spheres contribute to the growth and development of spiritual and educational domains.
