Permanent Mission of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the United Nations

Dear women!

Dear daughters!

Today, when our beautiful and prosperous land increasingly feels the long-awaited breath of spring, it gives me great pleasure wholeheartedly congratulate you, the women of Uzbekistan, with a wonderful holiday of March 8, to express you my deep respect and sincere good wishes.

In light of these days we are all unconsciously realize how in tune are the words «spring» and «woman», as they harmoniously combine unique values.

Many songs and poems will be made to glorify women as long as there are people still alive with mother’s warmth. This issue remains eternal, since woman is the incomparable wonder created by God and worthy of the highest respect and admiration.

It is no exaggeration to claim after our great poet Bobur that even if the masters of the word all over the world in over a hundred years will chant and glorify the woman, and they will not be able to reflect even the hundredth share of woman’s beauty and charm. I think we all truly subscribe to this poetic recognition, addressed to a beautiful part of our society.

We all take great pleasure again and again to confess the boundless love and respect to our companion of life, who selflessly bear on her fragile shoulders all family care, cherish and raise our children, provide comfort and warmth to our house, offer the best feelings.

Our women, without any exaggeration, today make a worthy contribution to the formation of the foundation of our future and in building civil society, where the main priority are people, their right to live in a free, equal for all and developed country.

In this regard, we need to do everything necessary to further improve the socio-political activity of our women, to alleviate their hard work and the work and at home.

Dear mothers and sisters!

Once again I warmly congratulate you all with your wonderful holiday – the day of March 8!

I hope that there always will be welfare and prosperity in your homes!

Be healthy and happy, our dear women!

Islam Karimov,
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan
