Samarkand will host the 43rd UNESCO General Conference

From October 30 to November 13, Samarkand will host the 43rd UNESCO General Conference.

The UNESCO Conference is the largest humanitarian forum on the planet. The event will gather delegates from all continents under its arches. This will be the moment when the ancient capital of science and crafts will become the capital of global dialogue, where the values that define the 21st century will be discussed.

The decision to hold the 43rd UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand reflects the growing importance of Central Asia and Uzbekistan in promoting culture, education, and science as bridges between peoples.

Within the framework of the conference, meetings on education, science, communication, and culture will be held. Special attention will be paid to the protection of the world heritage, the development of creative industries, climate resilience, and digital justice. Along with this, exhibitions, youth forums, concerts, and national cultural programs will be held.

The conference will give Uzbekistan an opportunity to show the world the modern image of the East as open, dynamic, knowledge-oriented and future-oriented. It is here, in the Middle Ages, where the works of Beruni and Khwarizmi were created, that the ethics of artificial intelligence and the humanistic principles of the digital age will be discussed.

The UNESCO session in Samarkand will be a landmark event reflecting Central Asia’s new role in global humanitarian architecture. It will confirm that the dialogue of civilizations is possible not through confrontation, but through culture, science, and respect for human memory.
