President of Uzbekistan gets acquainted with projects in field of transport and construction 

According to the press service of the head of our state, thanks to an active foreign policy, our country’s international relations are increasingly expanding. Tashkent is becoming a center of business activity and tourism. For this reason, special attention is paid to the development of transport infrastructure.

In recent years, Tashkent International Airport named after Islam Karimov has been modernized, which has improved conditions for passengers. The service has expanded, the number of check-in counters and boarding gates has increased. As a result of a three-year reconstruction, the area of the departure terminal building increased from 56,000 to 80,000 square meters.

The reconstruction of the departure terminal is currently ongoing. The work will be carried out in three stages, resulting in expanded capabilities for registration, customs control and security. Capacity will increase from the current 1.2 thousand people to 2.4 thousand passengers per hour.

It is also planned to build a new cargo terminal at Tashkent International Airport. This will increase the cargo handling capacity to 300 tons per day.

As you know, on August 29, 2022, the first stone was laid in the foundation of the town of Al-Khorezmi in the city of Urgench. Multi-storey buildings, schools and kindergartens, sports and cultural centers, parks, a technology park and other complexes will be built here. In particular, Al-Khorezmi University will be built in the center of the town.

According to the project, the university will include the faculties of mathematics and natural sciences, computer science, engineering, and 4 thousand students will study here. The university will also have a specialized school for gifted children. Thus, an educational cluster will be created here with the integration of education, science and production.

An exchange of views took place on filling the university concept with new content. The importance of creating modern laboratories for youth research, commercializing start-up projects, and opening areas in digital technologies and e-sports was emphasized.

Our people are rightfully proud of another great scientist, Abu Rayhan Beruni. To perpetuate the life of the thinker and his invaluable contribution to world science, on the initiative of the President of our country, it is planned to create a museum in the center of the Beruni district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. The two-story building will be equipped with the most advanced museum equipment, and interactive methods will be used to design the exhibitions. A majestic monument to Beruni will be installed in front of the museum.

During the presentation, several options for project implementation were considered. Responsible persons were given instructions on finalizing projects and further improving the quality of construction and service.
