“I have always held a deep affection for Vietnam and greatly admire the progress you have achieved.” That was the prevailing spirit in the exchange between Alisher Rustamovich Mukhamedov, President of the Uzbekistan-Vietnam Friendship Association, and the VietnamTimes magazine.

On April 30, 2025, in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, the public was stunned to witness for the first time precious photos of President Ho Chi Minh's visit to the country in 1959. After more than half a century, these photos stand not only as historical marks but also as a bridge connecting the past with the present, of which the initiator and persistent builder is Alisher Rustamovich Mukhamedov, Chairman of the Uzbekistan-Vietnam Friendship Association, a special friend of Vietnam.

The Vietnam - Uzbekistan Friendship Association virtually discussed ways to strengthen the solidarity and friendship between the two nations.
