The program offered a blend of traditional and modern performances, providing the audience with a vivid cultural experience that celebrated the festive harmony between the two nations.
The collaboration of artists symbolized the enduring cultural and humanitarian ties between China and Uzbekistan, reinforcing both nations’ commitment to deepening their friendship and cooperation.
In his closing remarks, Wang Jiwei expressed his gratitude to the organizers and participants, expressing hope for continued cultural exchanges that will further strengthen the bond between the two countries. He emphasized that such events play a crucial role in building a shared future for China and Uzbekistan.
The concert, held in an atmosphere of friendship and understanding, underscored the growing cultural ties between the two nations. Attendees and performers alike left with the assurance that these exchanges will continue to foster closer connections between the peoples of China and Uzbekistan.
