A scientific and practical conference dedicated to the birthday of Alisher Navoi on the topic "The role of Alisher Navoi in world science and culture" was held at the Faculty of Philology of Samarkand State University. The event was opened by the First Vice-Rector for Youth Affairs and Spiritual and Educational Work of SamSU, Professor Shahzoda Negmatova, who wished success to the conference participants.

The translation of Navoi's works into German was for the first time carried out indirectly through translation into European languages.
