The ambassadors of the European Union (EU) countries in Uzbekistan sent original greetings to the people of Uzbekistan on the occasion of the Navruz holiday.
The greeting was prepared in the form of a video, featuring the ambassadors of the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Latvia, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, as well as the chargé d'affaires of Bulgaria and Spain. They celebrated the Eastern New Year by reciting poetry in Uzbek.
The EU ambassador to Uzbekistan, Toyvo Klaar, not only recited poetry but also accompanied it with a musical performance. In his presentation, he promoted the kobiz instrument and illuminated the essence of this ancient word.
The poem recited by the diplomats included the following lines:
From the warmth of the motherland, a bud blooms,
Flowers sing songs and spread their scents,
As the leaves clap, the children take flight,
May your Navruz holiday be blessed!
It is becoming a good tradition for EU diplomats to send greetings in Uzbek as a sign of respect for the host country. Previously, a similar video greeting was sent on October 21, in celebration of Uzbek Language Day.
