Detailed information was provided regarding the large-scale reforms implemented by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in the religious and educational spheres, the lives and scientific heritage of great scholars, and the extensive construction work carried out to transform their final resting places into prosperous sites. In particular, it was emphasized that the Imam Bukhari, Imam Maturidi, and Imam Termizi international scientific research centers, as well as the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan—all established at the initiative of the Head of State during this new stage of national development—have established ties with the world’s most prestigious scientific centers and are jointly implementing major research projects.
It was noted that the inauguration of the newly reconstructed Imam Bukhari Memorial Complex in Samarkand during the blessed month of Ramadan was a significant historical event not only for Uzbekistan but for the entire Islamic world. Detailed information was provided regarding the conditions and facilities created for pilgrims, as well as the national and universal significance of the complex.
The distinguished guests highly commended the immense attention being paid in our country to the profound study and international promotion of the exemplary lives and invaluable scientific heritage of our ancestors.

During the conversation, representatives of prestigious international organizations and leading scientific institutions unanimously supported the proposal to organize an international conference in June of this year focusing on the lives and scientific heritage of Imam Bukhari, Imam Maturidi, and Imam Termizi.
