In recent years, cooperation between Uzbekistan and Georgia has been steadily developing in various fields, including culture and the arts.
In particular, representatives from Georgia regularly participate in festivals held in Uzbekistan, such as the "Lazgi," "Bakhshi Art," "Handicrafts," and "Maqom" festivals.
As a result of agreements reached during the visits of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan to Georgia and the Prime Minister of Georgia to Uzbekistan, cultural and humanitarian cooperation has entered a new phase of development.
The main goal of the "Uzbek Culture and Cinema Days" events is to showcase the rich history, cultural heritage passed down from generation to generation, and the unique art of the Uzbek people, as well as to present modern Uzbek music, craftsmen's practical art exhibitions, and skilled chefs’ presentations of "Uzbek Cuisine."
