On October 21, the day when the Uzbek language was granted the status of the state language, a literary and artistic evening called "My Motherland - My Pride" was held at the Samarkand State University of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Husbandry and Biotechnology, celebrating the greatness, richness and uniqueness of our language.
The evening, organized by the Department of Uzbek, Russian Languages and Literature of SamDVMCHBU, was attended by university professors and students.
The event was opened by the rector of the university, Professor Kh. Yunusov, and he congratulated the participants on the day when the Uzbek language was recognized as the state language. Congratulating everyone on this auspicious day, the rector noted that in recent years, like all spheres and industries in Uzbekistan, our political and practical work on further increasing the value and prestige of our native language has been reaching a new level, and this can be clearly seen in the example of historical decrees and resolutions adopted to radically increase the status and prestige of the Uzbek language as the state language.
As a result of such efforts, our native language is gaining its worthy place and position not only in our country, but also in the world. We are especially pleased that our native language is becoming a means of peace, friendship and cooperation, resounding on the high podium of the United Nations, at major political summits and meetings.
The guest of the event, Mavlon Bobokhonov, Doctor of Philological Sciences (DSc) of Sharof Rashidov Samarkand State University, spoke about the great and responsible tasks ahead of us in further developing the Uzbek language and further strengthening its role and authority as the state language.
Currently, our noble aspirations and efforts aimed at building a new Uzbekistan are reaching a decisive stage. On this path, our native language, which is a symbol of our national identity and pride, undoubtedly serves as an incomparable source of strength and inspiration.
The festive event was made even more interesting by artistic performances prepared by the talented youth of the University and the Student Theater Studio.
