Close friendship relationships are strengthening.

Close friendship relationships are strengthening.

Uzbek and Kyrgyz people have been living shoulder to shoulder for centuries. The root of these nations is the same. They lived in peace by exchanging in marriages.

Two great writers and state figures Chingiz Aytmatov and Sharof Rashidov were close friends.

After acquiring independence, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan established diplomatic relations. In 1992 Kyrgyzstan opened its embassy, while Uzbekistan opened its embassy in Bishkek in 1998. In 1996 two countries signed “Agreement on Eternal Friendship” which became legal basis for the relationship for two countries. 181 official documents had been signed until 2005.

But the issue of using trans-border rivers has lately caused misunderstanding between two countries.

Nowadays these two countries which have missed previous ties are renovating their relationships now. Sooranbay Jeenbekov, President of Kyrgyzstan paid an official visit to Uzbekistan.

“Kyrgyzstan is our close neighbor. That’s why there should not be any border between us. We opened our hearts to each other and for this reason we need to solve any issue”, said President of Uzbekistan. 

In its turn, Sooronbay Jeenbekov expressed deep gratitude to Shavkat for the invitation and on behalf of people conveyed deep respect. President of Kyrgyzstan highly evaluated the efforts of Shavkat Mirziyoyev by saying: “You have turned our borders into real friendship, good neighborhood and partnership borders.”

Uzbekistan’s foreign policy highlights the importance of development successful relationships with neighbors. It has lately been observed an active integration process among Central Asian countries. Particularly, relations with Kyrgyzstan are leveling up. Visits between governmental bodies are widening.

During the meeting President Jeenbekov stressed his support for the President Mirziyoyev’s initiative for organizing constant advisory meetings with Central Asian leaders.

It is meaningful here to mention the participation of Maksatbek Toktomeshov, Muftiy of Kyrgyzstan at the International Scientific-practical conference called “Islamic solidarity in the example of Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan” which was hosted by Uzbekistan in Tashkent on October 18th of the current year. Muftiy of Kyrgyzstan Maksatbek Toktomeshov:

  • We, most of the participants of the conference, recognized each other, because our administrative office was the same before. Our fathers and grandfathers studied in this land in Tashkent and Bukhara. We are planning to open new religious institutions in our country, but for the time being we have to use educational establishments in Uzbekistan as this country has great religious knowledge and experience. I was thinking about this during the conference. The conference has become a great step forward for improving our warm relationships.

The visit of President of Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan will bring our relationships into new level. For this reason people of both countries are observing with great positive hopes.

Congratulations from the Ulama (Highly prominent religious scholars) Council of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan.

Thanks to the Creator, the reforms in the religious and educational sphere carried out in the new era of our development are highly recognized in the Muslim world. In recent years, the full provision of freedom of conscience and faith in our country, the rapid development of relations with Arab-Muslim countries and the activation of cooperation with influential organizations are a clear confirmation of our opinion.

Recently, the chairman of Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, Mufti Sheikh Nuriddin Kholiknazar Hazrat was accepted as a member of the International Council of Muslim Ulama and began to work in the ranks of this international organization. It has been a great result of significant work in this sphere.

At the same time, a separate letter from the Head of this International organization to the Chairman of Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, the virtuous Sheikh Nuriddin Kholiknazar hafizahullah Hazrat, begins with such sentences:

 - The International Council of Muslim Ulama wishes you to always be healthy and successful, expressing its highest respect and reverence.

In the Mufti activities of the Shaykh Hazrat, there are worthy contributions to the reforms of our country particularly, the launch of research centers, the establishment of a Fatwa Center, the opening of mosques and madrasas, Quran courses, improvement of activities of researches of the heritage of Ulama and a sharp increase in the number of pilgrims, of course.

The proposals of the Mufti Highness at international conferences in Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Germany and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan were highly appreciated in the international arena as a solution to religious and educational reforms and problems that afflict Muslims.

Sheikh makes regular appearances in our country and foreign media. In particular, the number of permanent observers on social networks is more than 2 million 200 thousand people. 10 books and CDs, DVDs have been published describing the themes of Allah's spiritual upbringing, decency, enlightenment, child-rearing, parental veneration, and feelings of love for the motherland.

Mufti Highness were elected to responsible duties such as the supreme governing bodies of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan — the Council of Ulama, the Chairman of the Supreme Jury, the Chairman of the international scientific council of the Imam Moturidi International Research Center. He was also awarded the scientific title "Honorary doctor" by the Scientific Council of the International Islamic Academy of Uzbekistan.

The next rank and status of Mufti Sheikh Nuriddin Kholiknazar imposes honor and responsibility on His Highness.

As additional information, the International Muslim ulama council is an independent, prestigious organization formed in 2004 by 50 Ulama. It is headquartered in Doha, the capital of Qatar.

 The goals of the organization are: to increase the status of Ulama in society, to develop proposals for solving problems of communities, and to make practical efforts.

 The organization's tasks are: to broaden the education of the Islamic religion, to bring the teachings of Islam to the public through modern media and propaganda, as well as to build on science and moderation in every activity and to deal with important issues in the lives of Muslims.

The organization’s structure and form of government: the council is headed by the secretary-general and his three deputies. The council also includes such chapters as "admission to membership", "fikh and fatwas", "culture, ideas and studies", "Islamic issues", "working with the media and the public", "translations and interpretation", and "dialogue".

 The International Council of Muslim ulama has done several important things in its history. In particular, it made a worthy contribution to the establishment of peace in the Darfur region of Sudan.

It has produced fatwas on "against kidnapping and trafficking" and "on the grave sin of killing innocent people". It also publishes its own attitudes and statements on the unrest in certain countries.

Currently, the Council has 46 of the most prominent influential Ulama members in the Muslim world. The late Sheikh Mohammed Sadiq Muhammad Yusuf Hazrat had been a member of this organization during his lifetime.

The participation of Mufti Sheikh Nuriddin Kholiknazar Hazrat, Chairman of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, in this organization serves as an important factor in further strengthening Uzbekistan's cooperation with the Muslim world, finding solutions to the problems ahead of us and strengthening the solidarity of the Islamic community.

Also, the appropriate participation of the members of our country in international conferences makes an important contribution to the world community to further promote the scientific heritage of our scholars and bring to a new level the work in the direction of combating against ignorance.
