Intergovernmental agreement on establishment of pavilion “Uzbekistan” at VDNKh approved

Shavkat Mirziyoyev, in a presidential decree, approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Russian Federation on the creation of a national pavilion at the All-Russian Exhibition Center (VDNKh) in Moscow, the press service of the Justice Ministry reported.

As noted in the document, Tashkent city administration will be the responsible authority for the implementation of the project. 

It should be recalled that, as a result of extensive negotiations, on June 24, 2019, in the Russian capital, a pavilion lease agreement was signed between the Moscow Mayor’s Office and the Tashkent city administration. In accordance with the document, pavilion No. 66 (“Uzbekistan”) at the VDNKh was given to the Republic.

At present, restoration works in the interior of the pavilion are coming to an end. These works are carried out at the expense of the Russian Ministry of Culture. 

As noted, the pavilion needs restoration of the facade, in particular, the famous rotunda gazebo is in disrepair. It is expected that the cost of repairing the facade will be borne by the Uzbek side.

For information, the pavilion “Uzbekistan” was built in 1954. The main artistic element of its decoration is the motif of a cotton capsule. It is traced in the construction of all elements of the pavilion.
