ISLAMABAD, March 19. /Dunyo IA/. The popular Pakistani publication “The Nation” has published an article about the Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent, describing it as a “mega-project recognized by the world community”, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

As the newspaper recalls, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the Center in January 2025 and provided recommendations on incorporating scientific and innovative projects, developed by more than two thousand local and foreign scholars, into the complex's exhibitions. Over the past year, the building's construction has been completed, and the content of the exhibits has been significantly expanded with the involvement of specialists and designers from more than 40 countries.
