From October 11 to 14, the "Week of Qatari Culture, Handicrafts, and National Cuisine" is taking place at the "Tashkent City Park" complex. As part of the week, concerts and exhibitions showcasing Qatari culture will be presented.

In recent years, cultural relations between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the State of Qatar have been steadily developing. The participation of Qatari representatives in international festivals held in Uzbekistan is clear evidence of this.

Notably, Qatari participants took part in the International Maqom Art Forum (2018-2024), the International Bakhshi Art Festival (2019), and the XIII International Music Festival "Sharq Taronalari" in 2024.

Additionally, during the visit of the Emir of Qatar to Uzbekistan, a "Memorandum on Cultural Cooperation between the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Government of the State of Qatar" was signed on June 5, 2023.

From February 20 to 26, 2024, the "Days of Uzbek Culture, Tourism, and Handicrafts" were held in Doha, Qatar. As part of the events, a meeting was organized between Uzbekistan’s Minister of Culture, Ozodbek Nazarbekov, and Qatar’s Minister of Culture, Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al-Thani.

The main goal of the event in Uzbekistan from October 11 to 14 is to promote the rich heritage of Qatari culture, including its classical and folk arts, performing traditions, customs, and rituals, while further strengthening the friendship between the two nations.

On October 11, the grand opening ceremony of the event took place at "Tashkent City Park." Festivities are scheduled to continue for four more days.

The opening ceremony featured a vibrant showcase of Qatar’s cultural landscape, including its arts, intangible cultural heritage, national musical instruments, miniature and decorative arts, as well as culinary exhibitions.

Following street performances, handicraft and gastronomic exhibitions, a concert featuring Qatari artists took place on an open-air stage.

The official opening ceremony of the cultural week was attended by Qatar’s Minister of Culture, Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al-Thani, Uzbekistan’s Minister of Culture, Ozodbek Nazarbekov, and several other government officials.
