UWED Hosts the Festive Event “The Uzbek Language – the Foundation of Our Spirituality, an Ambassador of Friendship and Cooperation”

Language is the soul of a nation and a priceless treasure that passes its history, culture and worldview from generation to generation. Refined over centuries by the works of great masters of the word, the Uzbek language has today become the national pride of our people and an important symbol of our independent statehood. That is why a deep knowledge of our native language, preserving its purity and widely promoting its potential are of particular importance, especially for young people who will work on the international stage in the future. On 21 October, as part of the month of events dedicated to the 37th anniversary of the Uzbek language being granted the status of the state language, the University of World Economy and Diplomacy hosted the festive event “The Uzbek Language – the Foundation of Our Spirituality, an Ambassador of Friendship and Cooperation”. It was attended by the university’s leadership, faculty members, staff, students and international students studying at the university. The event opened with the National Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan, followed by the screening of a video titled “The State Language Is the Pride of the Nation”. Oydin Mannopova, First Vice-Rector for Youth Affairs and Spiritual and Educational Work, then presented diplomas and certificates to students who achieved outstanding results in the video, essay, dictation, journalistic article and monologue contests, as well as in the online test held during the month. In particular, Muhammadrizo Raxmanov, a student of the Faculty of International Relations, and the “Meros” team of the Faculty of Political Science were awarded in the video contest “The Uzbek Language on the World Stage”; Madina Abdumavlonova in the essay contest “The Fate of My Native Language Is in My Hands”; Adiba Azimova in the dictation contest “Respect for Our Native Language Is Respect for Our Nation!”; and Shamsiddin Omonov in the journalistic article contest “Self-Awareness Begins with Language”. In the monologue contest “Masterpieces of World Literature in Uzbek Interpretation”, students of the Faculty of International Relations Sanjar Saydirasulov, Rayxona Yakubova, Marjona Saidova, Rayhona Raimova, Hilola Lapasova and Bekmurod Hoshimjonov received well-deserved recognition. Saidmuxammadxo‘ja Usmanxodjayev, a student of the Faculty of International Economics and Management who took first place in the test, was presented with a diploma in the “Most Knowledgeable Student” category. The artistic part of the celebration opened with poems dedicated to our native language. In the stage performance “My Native Language – the Echo of Eternity”, prepared by students, the images of great figures who enriched the Uzbek language through their work – Mahmud Kashgari, Alisher Navoi, Uvaysiy, Furqat, Cho‘lpon and Abdulla Oripov – were brought to life. One of the most memorable moments of the event was the performance by international students. They shared their impressions of learning Uzbek and expressed their interest in and respect for our language. Their words once again confirmed that the Uzbek language can serve as a bridge of friendship and cooperation between nations. Uzbek national melodies performed by the “Milliy band” vocal and instrumental ensemble added a special sense of grandeur to the celebration. During the event, the winners of the monologue contest performed excerpts from Sergei Yesenin’s Persian Motifs, Alexander Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin and William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, both in the author’s language and in the translations by Erkin Vohidov and Maqsud Shayxzoda, earning warm applause from the audience. Students of the academic lyceum affiliated with the university then presented their performances. They recited poems celebrating the richness of our native language and boundless love for the Motherland with great skill and deep emotion. The Uzbek national dance, embodying grace and national charm, was a particular highlight that filled the audience with a festive mood. Performed with youthful sincerity, enthusiasm and excellent preparation, these performances were met with warm applause and positive impressions from participants and guests. The event concluded with a proverb quiz, in which guests and students tested their knowledge by answering questions about proverbs – a rich part of our people’s spiritual heritage. This festive event serves to further strengthen young people’s love and respect for their native language and to widely promote the role of the Uzbek language in developing friendship and cooperation between nations.
