Dear Muftiy!
On behalf of Muslim Board of Russian Federation, Council of Muftiys of Russian Federation and personally myself, I congratulate you on receiving Certificate of State Registry of Islamic Academy.
Praise be to Allah that as in times of our great ancestors like Imam Bukhariy, Imam Termiziy, Abdulhalik Gijduvaniy, Bahouddin Naqshbandiy, today as well due to the support by President Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev and great work of Muslim Board of Uzbekistan under your management new traditions of Islamic Higher Education are reviving in Uzbekistan.
Мен Ислом академиясининг Ўзбекистон ва ислом манфаати йўлида муваффақиятли ва самарали фаолият олиб боришига тилакдошман. Ўз дини ва умматига фидокорона хизмат қилиб келаётган инсон сифатида Сиз азиз биродаримнинг барча эзгу ишларингизга Аллоҳнинг ўзи мададкор бўлишини чин дилдан тилаб қоламан!
I wish successful and fruitful efforts for the activity of the Academy for the sake of Uzbekistan and Islam. For you, dear brother, as the person who sincerely serves his religion and ummah, I genuinely wish you help from Allah in all your efforts!

Pakistan’s electronic publication “Network News Pakistan” published an article entitled “Central Asia Emerges as World’s Fastest-Growing Tourism Region in 2025, Uzbekistan Leads: WTTC”, reports Dunyo IA.
Article notes that, according to the “Travel & Tourism Economic Impact Research 2026” conducted by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), Central Asia became the world’s fastest-growing tourism region in 2025.
“WTTC conducts its research by dividing the world into 13 major regions. Based on the results for 2025, Central Asia ranked first in the world across a number of key tourism performance indicators. At the same time, Uzbekistan emerged as the leader among the Central Asian countries across all these indicators”, publication states.
Publication notes that in 2025, the total contribution of travel and tourism to Central Asia’s gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 17.7%, while the sector’s direct contribution to GDP grew by 19.6%. Visitor exports in the region increased by 26.4% over the year, reaching $9.9 billion.
Nearly half of the region’s total visitor exports came from Uzbekistan. In particular, Uzbekistan generated $4.8 billion in tourism exports in 2025. According to WTTC data, in 2025, Uzbekistan was the most popular travel destination for residents of Central Asia.
“Overall, these figures confirm the regional nature of tourism: residents of Central Asia travel within their own region more frequently than anywhere else”, article states.
Citing a WTTC forecast, Network News Pakistan also reports that by 2036, the total contribution of the travel and tourism sector to Central Asia’s economy will reach $29.7 billion.
