He invoked names that every schoolchild on the globe should be familiar with some day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Miziyoyev spoke of the great civilizations which arose in this region, going back as early as the third and second millennia BC, which \u201chave left a deep mark on human history.\u201d He reminded his audience, that \u201cthanks to the spread of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and the unique traditions of different peoples in Central and South Asia, a great ethnocultural commonality has been established, and a rich and colorful culture of the East has been formed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resulting strong ties between our peoples \u201censured rapid intellectual and enlightenment growth\u2026 which brought to the world many more mature scholars and thinkers, such as Charaka and Sushruta, Brahmagupta and Al-Khwarizmi, Al-Farghani and Al-Farabi, Al-Beruni, Ibn Sina. They marked the development of human science and philosophical thought centuries ago,\u201d he said. He then named some of the region\u2019s outstanding representatives of literature who \u201cwith their immortal works \u2026 have made a great contribution to the development of the principles of peace, freedom and humanity, the ideas of friendship and mutual trust among the peoples of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnfortunately,\u201d he added, \u201cdue to the historical situation, in the nineteenth century, the relations between the two neighboring regions were severed,\u201d creating barriers between Central and South Asia. The end of that era of cooperation and mutual understanding is responsible for \u201cthe current lack of effective cross-border routes, poor development of trade and economic relations, as well as the underutilization of cultural and humanitarian relations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is time to harmonize the existing intellectual potential and our joint efforts, given the great historical, scientific, cultural and educational heritage of our peoples and the ability of our economies to complement each other,\u201d he urged. \u201cWe are convinced that interdependence, cooperation, dialogue and, most importantly, the consistent and sustainable development of trust, will become a driving force for increasing the living standards and prosperity of the people of our regions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was within that context, then, that he proposed specific ideas for regional cooperation, centered on logistics infrastructure and rail lines, and within that, aiding Afghanistan to find peace at this \u201cimportant turning point in its recent history.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uzbek President Evokes Central and South Asia\u2019s Historic Contributions to Humanity to Spur Its Development Today &#8211; July 27, 2021 (EIRNS)\u2014Addressing the July 15th-16th Central and South Asia Regional Connectivity conference in Tashkent, which his government organized, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed that this region of almost two billion people conceive of its development today [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":77622,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,520,505,639,746],"tags":[842],"class_list":["post-77621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-updates-culture","category-updates-development","category-updates","category-global-diplomacy","category-uzbekistan","tag-lang-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77621"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77633,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77621\/revisions\/77633"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
