Uzbekistan was the first country, and President Mirziyoyev was the first leader in the world to take the initiative to provide aid for the restoration of the Karabakh region. The first social and educational infrastructure project – a school built by Uzbekistan, which Shavkat Miromonovich and I inaugurated – bears the name of the great son of the Uzbek people, Mirzo Ulugbek.
