The delegation of Kyrgyzstan is participating in the 43rd General Conference of UNESCO, which is taking place in Samarkand from October 30 to November 13.
According to information from the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan, on November 4, Ambassador Sadik Sher-Niyaz, who is also the permanent representative of the country to UNESCO, expressed gratitude to the people of Uzbekistan for their warm welcome and for organizing the conference.
On the same day, Ambassador Sadik Sher-Niyaz and the advisor to the President of Kyrgyzstan, Arslan Koychiev, who is also the special representative for the Issyk-Kul Forum, met with the nominated UNESCO Director-General Khaled Al-Anani. During this meeting, an invitation was extended to participate in the anniversary Issyk-Kul International Forum, which will take place in June 2026.
At the conference itself, a resolution was adopted declaring December 15 as the "World Day of the Turkic Language Family." This initiative has been developed over four years in collaboration with Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The date was chosen in honor of the deciphering of the Orkhon inscriptions—ancient monuments of Turkic writing from the 8th century. The adopted resolution will promote the common language, culture, and documentary heritage of Turkic-speaking peoples within UNESCO.
