Bukhara is the capital of Islamic culture.

In 2007 ISESCO (the structure of IOC) announced Tashkent as the capital of Islamic culture.

Every year this organization announces three cities to be the Islamic cultural centers. One of the cities must be from Arabic countries, another one from Asia and the third one from Africa.

On IX conference of the ministers of culture of OIC three cities: Bukhara, Cairo (Egypt) and Bamako (Mali) were chosen as Islamic cultural centers of 2020.

Actually Bukhara has been Islamic cultural center for centuries. It was named as “The dome of Islam”. There is great meaning in the selection of Bukhara as the Islamic cultural center of 2020. It is worth mentioning that thousands of scholars who have contributed to the world civilization were born, lived and studied in this city.

“El Mundo Financiero”: Uzbekistan strengthens its position among the world’s safest countries in global safety rankings

An article dedicated to Uzbekistan’s position in the international tourism market has been published in the Spanish publication “El Mundo Financiero”, reports Dunyo IA.

As noted in the article, Uzbekistan has once again been included among the world’s safest countries in the Global Terrorism Index 2026 ranking. Prepared by the Institute for Economics and Peace, the ranking covers 163 countries, and according to the results of 2026, Uzbekistan was placed among the group of the safest countries with a score of 0.014 points.

The publication assessed this result as a reflection of the effectiveness of consistent measures being implemented in the country to ensure public safety, improve the law enforcement system and prevent offenses.

Article also highlighted that foreign tourists feel safe while traveling across Uzbekistan. It emphasized that the system established to ensure security at airports, railway stations, metro facilities, tourist sites, central streets and other public places contributes to strengthening the country’s positive image.

Publication also noted that the rich historical and cultural heritage of the Great Silk Road cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, as well as modern Tashkent and the country’s traditions of hospitality, are increasingly attracting foreign tourists.

“The results of the “Global Terrorism Index 2026” will further strengthen Uzbekistan’s image as a reliable, stable, and safe country for tourism, business, and international exchanges”, concluded “El Mundo Financiero”.
