The historical and contemporary photographs displayed at the exhibition illustrate different stages of this partnership, demonstrating the continuity of sincere and friendly relations.
This exhibition serves to promote the long-standing friendship, cultural dialogue, and cooperation between Tashkent and Seattle among a wide audience, while also contributing to the further strengthening of friendly relations between Uzbekistan and the United States.
