The event was attended by the leadership and staff of the Committee, organizations within its system and territorial offices, as well as specialists from the Committee for Religious Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the International Islamic Academy of Uzbekistan.
During the event, experts emphasized that interfaith and interethnic harmony in our country is the foundation of social stability and one of the key directions of state policy.
It was noted that in the New Uzbekistan, the relationship between the state and religion is being shaped as a mutually complementary system that serves the interests of the people. It was stressed that tolerance is not merely a slogan, but a value that should occupy a place in the consciousness of every citizen.
It was also highlighted that modern global conflicts, especially those under the guise of religion, compel all societies to remain vigilant. In this context, it was emphasized that in Uzbekistan, representatives of different nationalities and faiths live in an atmosphere of peace, mutual respect, and harmony.
Participants exchanged views on the legislative foundations of state-religion relations, reforms aimed at ensuring freedom of religion, and new approaches to combating ignorance through education.
At the conclusion of the event, attention was also given to activities related to the illegal distribution, import, and storage of religious materials, as well as trends observed on social networks.
