University professors and students participated in the evening organized by the Uzbek, Russian language and literature department of SamSUVMLB.

The event was opened by the rector of the university, professor Khudaynazar Yunusov and congratulated the participants on the day when the Uzbek language was recognized as the state language. While congratulating everyone on this auspicious day, the rector said that in recent years, our political and practical work on increasing the value and prestige of our mother tongue in Uzbekistan, as well as in all sectors and industries, has reached a new level. He mentioned that it can be clearly seen in the example of the historical decrees and decisions taken to radically increase its status and reputation as a language.

As a result of such efforts, our native language is gaining its rightful place and position not only in our country, but also on the world scale. We are especially pleased that our mother tongue is being played on the high platform of the United Nations, at major political summits and meetings, and is becoming a tool for peace, friendship and cooperation.
