High professional level of their performance and originality of works testify that many from seen works present true masterpieces of art heritage of humanity, forming an integral part of the world cultural treasury.

    The first meeting of Chairman of the Association of Artists of Uzbekistan, Tursunali Kuziev and the head of Association of Artists of Chinese People’s Republic in Peking as well as the negotiations which were arranged within a program of the visit of the Chinese delegation, promote establishment of direct contacts between artists and their further development.

    During our amicable meetings, we have discussed a huge circle of issues concerning Uzbek – Chinese cooperation in the field of fine arts.
    The vernissage “Cultural heritage of Uzbekistan” in Peking and the exhibition “Contemporary fine arts of China” held in June within the program of Days of Chinese Culture in Tashkent will stimulate further strengthening and development of our friendship and fruitful cultural contacts, creation of favorable conditions and kind relations with the Association of Artists of Uzbekistan.

    I think, that forthcoming international Biennales, the second – in China and the third – in Uzbekistan in autumn 2005, should strengthen creative contacts of our artists and public.
    The participants of the meeting pointed out importance of a proposal done by the Uzbek party: to arrange joint seminars with the Chinese art critics, which can give opportunity to discuss the processes running in the field of art in our countries and ways of development of Uzbek – Chinese cultural cooperation.
