Dear compatriots!

I warmly congratulate you on October 21 — Uzbek Language Day!

Effective work is under way in our country to enhance the prestige and status of the state language and to promote it internationally.

Within the system of the Ministry of Employment and Poverty Reduction, conducting official business in the state language, observing literary language norms in official documents and information materials, and making broad use of the rich possibilities of our mother tongue are also important tasks.

Preserving our mother tongue, keeping it pure, and passing it intact to future generations is the duty of every citizen.

I wish you all good health, family prosperity, and success along this path!

Botir Zakhidov,
Minister of Employment and Poverty Reduction of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
