On April 16, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the presentation of projects in the field of transport and construction.
Thanks to an active foreign policy, our country's international relations are increasingly expanding. Tashkent is becoming a center of business activity and tourism. For this reason, special attention is paid to the development of transport infrastructure.
In recent years, Tashkent's Islam Karimov International Airport has been modernized, which has improved conditions for passengers. The service has expanded, the number of check-in counters and boarding gates has increased. As a result of the three-year reconstruction, the area of the departure terminal building has grown from 56 thousand to 80 thousand square meters.
The reconstruction of the departure terminal is currently underway. The work will be carried out in three stages, as a result, opportunities for registration, customs control and security will expand. The capacity will increase from the current 1.2 thousand people to 2.4 thousand passengers per hour.
It is also planned to build a new cargo terminal at Tashkent International Airport. This will increase the cargo handling capacity to 300 tons per day.
As you know, on August 29, 2022, the foundation stone of the town of Al-Khorezmi was laid in the city of Urgench. Multi-storey buildings, schools and kindergartens, sports and cultural centers, parks, a technopark and other complexes will be built here. In particular, the Al-Khorezmi University will be built in the center of the town.
According to the project, the university will include the faculties of mathematics and natural sciences, computer science, engineering, and 4,000 students will study here. The university will also have a specialized school for gifted children. Thus, an educational cluster will be created here with the integration of education, science and production.
An exchange of views took place on filling the concept of the university with new content. The importance of creating modern laboratories for youth research, commercializing start-up projects, and opening areas for digital technologies and esports was emphasized.
Our people are rightfully proud of another great scientist, Abu Rayhan Beruni. To perpetuate the life path of the thinker and his invaluable contribution to world science, at the initiative of the President of our country, it is planned to create a museum in the center of the Beruniysky district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. The two-storey building will be equipped with the most advanced museum equipment, interactive methods will be used in the design of exhibitions. The majestic Beruni monument is planned to be installed in front of the museum.
