Saida Mirziyoyeva honors parents and mentor of award-winning students in Abu Dhabi

“This victory is a symbol of hope and inspiration for all our youth. We are proud of you!” Mirziyoyeva said, emphasizing the broader impact of this accomplishment on Uzbekistan’s younger generation.

The award-winning project, developed by students Pahlavon Ghulomov and Asilbek Ashrapov under the mentorship of Sohibkhon Azizov, focuses on recycling rainwater into potable water. Competing against 5,980 applications from 156 countries, their innovative and sustainable solution stood out as a prime example of youth-driven ingenuity addressing global challenges.

Earlier, on January 14, it was announced that the Tashkent Presidential School had been recognized on the international stage with this award. The prestigious ceremony was held in Abu Dhabi, where Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, personally presented the award to the students.

Saida Mirziyoyeva highlighted that this achievement reflects Uzbekistan’s commitment to sustainable development and the visionary policies of its leadership. "The success of our youth not only makes us proud but also confirms the importance of the path our President has chosen toward sustainability and ‘green’ growth," she added.
