Uzbekistan has offered to host, and not in Paris, the UNESCO General Session of 2025
The exhibition "Abu Rayhan Beruni. Geographical and intellectual travel". The project is timed to the 1050th anniversary of the birth of the great scientist and thinker of the East.
Thanks to the visual installations, visitors of the exhibition will be able to see and learn about the life, work, discoveries and research of Abu Rayhan Beruni. In the exposition, a special place is given to the manuscripts of the scientist stored in the collection of the National Library of France, reports uz24.uz .
"I think this project will arouse great interest among the European public and further enrich their knowledge about Uzbekistan, which is proud of the heritage of its great scientists. I am glad to inform you that Uzbekistan is ready to host the 43rd session of the UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand in 2025! If our proposal is approved, this historic event can change the more than 40-year tradition of holding UNESCO sessions only in Paris," Assistant to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Saida Mirziyoyeva wrote in her Telegram channel.
The UNESCO General Conference defines the main directions of the organization's activities. It is held every two years and adopts the program and budget of the organization for the next cycle. Every four years, the General Conference elects the members of the executive board and appoints the Director General of the secretariat.
The 42nd session of the General Conference will be held in November 2023.
