Uzbek Language Day was celebrated in Jawzjan by an educational organization with an exhibition.

The organizers of this event called on officials to make greater efforts to promote the Uzbek language.

Ali Shir Entezar, a cultural activist, said: "More attention should be given to supporting Uzbek language departments in higher education institutions, and good support for Uzbek language and literature should be included in media programs. This is our main demand."

Karomatullah Azizi, another cultural activist, said: "Textbooks and regional curriculum materials should be made available to readers and staff."

Hesamuddin Tuyghun, a university professor, said: "We have some academic staff, but there is a serious need for more personnel at the master's and doctorate levels, and the Islamic Emirate should focus on this."

Several poets, writers, cultural figures, and local officials gathered at this exhibition to commemorate this day.

Meanwhile, the head of Jawzjan's Information and Culture Department urged all citizens to focus on unity and acceptance.

"May God Bless the Youth to Use Their Nation, Language, and Homeland Positively," said Saifudin Mutasem, head of the Department of Information and Culture of Jawzjan province.

October 20, marking National Uzbek Language Day, was recognized by the previous government and is included in Afghanistan's official calendar.
