Representatives of about forty EU projects presented their achievements in important directions of cooperation with Uzbekistan and Central Asia in general. "The succession of generations is a unique quality of the Uzbek people. The wonderful traditions of the Uzbek people, such as "Teacher-disciple", have been flawlessly passed down from generation to generation. The younger generation learns trade and professional skills from older teachers. The EU is also pleased to contribute to this circle of experience and knowledge exchange. Through the projects and programs we finance, women, young people and rural residents are gaining professional skills that are as necessary as water and air today, which will help them grow and develop," said Charlotte Adrian, the ambassador of the EU to our country. . During the Europe Day festival, entertainment programs, pop star performances, creative and sports competitions, and master classes were organized. The festival demonstrated the importance of cooperation between Europe and Uzbekistan in various fields, the diversity of culture and traditions of EU countries. For information, on May 9, 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman gave a historic speech that was the cornerstone of the establishment of the single European house. The French statesman's proposal for European unity went down in history under the name "Schumann Declaration". This date is celebrated all over the world as Europe Day.
