The director of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan met with representatives from the BBC in London.

As part of the Cultural Heritage Week of Uzbekistan taking place in London, a delegation led by the Director of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan visited the BBC.

 The meeting included the Executive Editor of the BBC World Service, Mehfish Hussein, the heads of the Commercial Development department, Fred Durman and Tamara Walsh, the head of the BBC Uzbek Service, Khayrullo Fayz, and others. Firdavs Abdukhaliqov introduced the corporation's representatives to the activities of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan and proposed collaboration on the production of short videos and films aimed at promoting the humanitarian ideas of Islam, as well as the works and scientific heritage of prominent scholars from Uzbekistan.

— Collaborating with the BBC, one of the leading information platforms in the world with a multi-million audience, is of particular significance, — noted the Director of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan. — In particular, the documentary “The Great Langar Quran: Secrets and Facts”, produced a few years ago in partnership with the BBC, garnered attention from a wide audience not only in Uzbekistan but also internationally. It can be said that the documentary “The Return of the Quran of Usman”, created in collaboration with the Cinematography Agency, stands as another outcome of this partnership.

We hope that our new media project about ancient manuscript copies of the Quran associated with Uzbekistan, initiated by the Center for Islamic Civilization, will serve as a logical continuation of this fruitful collaboration.

During the meeting, they discussed cooperation in creating content in formats that are appealing to modern audiences, particularly to the younger generation, as well as issues concerning their protection from harmful influences and foreign ideas. Delegation members also familiarized themselves with the activities of the BBC Uzbek Service.
