Navruz is one of the oldest and most meaningful celebrations in human history. For thousands of years, it has symbolized the awakening of nature, the beginning of the astronomical new year, and a new stage in human life. This traditional festival not only represents the renewal of nature, but also reflects the purity of human thoughts and feelings, strengthens cultural identity, and promotes moral and humanistic values in society. In the period of independence, the importance of Navruz has grown even more, and today it is widely recognized as a celebration of unity, friendship, and social cohesion.
With this festive spirit and a deep respect for cultural heritage, a Navruz celebration was organized at the Higher Attestation Commission under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan. The event was attended by the leadership, staff members, and invited guests.

After that, well-known scholars of the country, Rustam Tagoymurodzoda and Khayol Boboev, spoke about the ancient history, cultural aspects, and global importance of Navruz. They pointed out that today Navruz serves as a bridge connecting different cultures and civilizations.
The event continued with cultural and recreational activities, as well as the conclusion of traditional Navruz competitions. Among them were contests for arranging the “Haft Sin” and “Haft Shin” tables and preparing national dishes. Participants actively took part and demonstrated their skills in presenting traditional customs and cuisine.
