Every crime is an evil against Allah. Every crime is against Koran and Hadith. That’s why our honored prophet Muhammad sollalohu alayhi wasallam called us to struggle against crime by the following hadith:

“If you see that someone is performing an evil action, stop it with your hand. If you can’t stop by your hands, then stop it with your words. If you can’t stop it with your words then stop it with your soul. But, stopping with your soul is the weakest form of iyman (belief).” (narrated by Imam Muslim)

It is true that upbringing of young generation is always crucial and difficult job. Honorable President commented following on this issue: “We have known for centuries that development of a society is connected with the young generation’s education and upbringing. But in XXI century this issue is becoming life-and-death issue.”    

During the speeches it was warned that all young people from Uzbekistan in foreign counties are our children and if we don’t pay serious attention to them some other forces may cheat them and use in evil deeds.

It was noted that in the era of internet and fast mass media Muslim Board of Uzbekistan is ready to cooperate with all existing mass media types of our country.

At the end of the event Muslim Board of Uzbekistan and Youth Union of Uzbekistan agreed to sign the Memorandum of Partnership.

Uzbekistan plans to attract 100,000 pilgrims from Malaysia and Indonesia in 2026–2027

International “Umrah Plus” Tourism Association has been established in Tashkent, reports Dunyo IA.

Event was attended by representatives of the Committee for Tourism of Uzbekistan and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassies and diplomatic missions of foreign countries, tourism industry specialists and international partners.

According to the Committee for Tourism, the main objective of the new international structure is to combine Umrah pilgrimage with Uzbekistan’s rich historical, cultural and religious heritage, increase the flow of foreign pilgrims and promote the country’s potential in pilgrimage tourism internationally.

As noted, Uzbekistan is paying particular attention to bringing the tourism sector to a new stage of development, turning it into one of the important drivers of the national economy and promoting the country’s tourism potential more widely in international tourism markets. In this context, development of pilgrimage tourism and attraction of new target markets are among the key priorities of the “Umrah Plus” concept.

As part of the Association’s activities, particular attention will be given to attracting pilgrims from Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries to Uzbekistan under the “Umrah Plus” programme. New tourist routes are planned to be developed, combining Umrah pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia with visits to historical and religious sites in Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara.

A roadmap has been approved to attract 100,000 pilgrims from Malaysia and Indonesia in 2026–2027. In addition, the programme will focus on improving the quality of tourism services, expanding air connectivity, strengthening cooperation with foreign tour operators, and developing new tourism products that meet the requirements of the international market.

In particular, proposals have been put forward to launch transit tourism routes enabling travellers to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Saudi Arabia via Samarkand or Bukhara. Such routes are expected to help combine Uzbekistan’s transport and logistics potential in Central Asia with its potential in pilgrimage tourism.

Event also saw the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the State Institution “Project Office for the Development of Tourism Products” under the Committee for Tourism of Uzbekistan and the International “Umrah Plus” Tourism Association. Parties agreed to implement joint projects, exchange expertise and further expand cooperation in pilgrimage tourism.

Mechanisms for implementing the “Umrah Plus” programme were established by a Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated January 9th, 2026. According to the document, until the end of 2026, tour operators attracting tourists from Malaysia and Indonesia under the programme will be provided with a US$100 subsidy per tourist.

It is expected that the newly established International “Umrah Plus” Tourism Association will serve as an important platform for coordinating international cooperation in this area, strengthening ties with foreign tourism markets and broadly promoting Uzbekistan’s potential in pilgrimage tourism.
