The International Pilgrimage Tourism Week is dedicated to the scientific and spiritual heritage of such representatives of the Islamic world as Abu Hafs Kabir Bukhari, Sayf al-Din Bakharzi, Abdulkholik Gijduvani, and Bahauddin Naqshband. Bukhara, among the famous seven cities such as Makkah, Madinah, Mazar-i-Sharif, Jerusalem, Baghdad, and Damascus, once again demonstrates itself as a city that has made an invaluable contribution to the glory of Islam.
To ensure the implementation of reforms in the tourism sector, in particular the further development of pilgrimage tourism, practical work is being carried out in Uzbekistan to establish the Golden Ring tourist route, increase air routes between Muslim countries, and build large hotels, tourist centers, and restaurants with the participation of investors.
Bukhara, the pearl of Islamic civilization, will host events and conferences during the International Pilgrimage Tourism Week.
Eighty entrepreneurs from Afghanistan and more than 200 representatives of companies from Uzbekistan attended the event.

According to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the meeting was organized in seven areas, including the food industry, building materials, pharmaceuticals, textiles, logistics, and auto parts.
In 2025, over 120 Uzbekistan companies participated in events in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif, resulting in contracts worth $60 million. More than 45 agreements have been reached as a result of the business forum held in Kabul in August.

The event also included B2B negotiations. The parties considered several key issues, including expanding trade cooperation, implementing joint projects, discussing investment initiatives, and increasing export potential in the Afghan market.
