‘The reason is, first, the Uzbek ballet is one of the leading in the region. Secondly, I have a long-standing positive relationship with Uzbekistan and many friends in your country. In fact, this is the land of my dreams, where I have never been, I want to get there. I am sure that I will definitely come to your country and show the whole world Uzbekistan and its elegant.’

‘Then, we will organize exhibitions of young Uzbek artists. Belgians are very fond of this genre, and highly appreciate how foreign artists perceive their country.’

In the future, exactly the same trip can be organized for Belgian artists who will create their own pictures about Uzbekistan, directly being in your country. This, in turn, will allow us to hold joint exhibitions of Uzbek and Belgian artists, both in Belgium and in Uzbekistan, "said V. Chikin.
