“We are laying the foundation for the development of the creative economy and the promotion of a sustainable future in Uzbekistan these days. This progress would not have been possible without the support of the international community participating in WCCE–2024,” Mirziyoyeva said.

Among the key partners she highlighted were the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and its Secretary-General Rebecca Grynspan, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and its Deputy Director General Sylvie Forbin, Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy led by Minister Sandiaga Uno, Chairperson of Qatar Museums Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, and CEO of Art of Heritage, Princess Noura Al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia's Royal Family.

“Thank you for supporting Uzbekistan’s goals of creating a future where creativity and innovation play a decisive role in the country's progress,” Mirziyoyeva added.
