The most important achievement of Uzbekistan in the years since independence has been stability and security, as well as interethnic and religious tolerance. In its ethnopolitical policy, Uzbekistan prioritizes providing conditions and opportunities for all ethnic groups to develop and assert themselves, preserve their cultural and linguistic identity, and fully realize their spiritual and intellectual potential. The establishment of 157 National Cultural Centers (NCCs) during the years of independence is a testament to the implementation of the constitutional principles of equal rights for ethnic groups.

Among the NCCs, a special place is occupied by the Kyrgyz Cultural and Educational Center, which coordinates the activities of its territorial units in the Andijan, Fergana, Namangan, Jizzakh, and Syrdarya regions. The main objectives of the center are to preserve the unique spiritual wealth, cultural heritage, customs, traditions, language, history, and identity of the Kyrgyz people, and to pass them on to future generations. The center organizes various contests, meetings with prominent representatives of science and culture in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, book presentations, and evenings dedicated to strengthening the Uzbek-Kyrgyz friendship.

In conclusion, we can say that the Kyrgyz people living in Uzbekistan consider it their homeland. During the years of independence, they, like other nations, were given opportunities for self-realization. As a result, they have revived their customs and traditions, as well as their national holidays and rituals. Additionally, the active members of the center contribute to strengthening the political and economic ties between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, serving as a bridge of people-to-people diplomacy.
