Embassy of Uzbekistan hosted a get-together in Kuwait to celebrate Navruz, the ancient traditional festival of people in many Central Asian countries. The ceremony was attended by citizens of Uzbekistan living and working in Kuwait, representatives from the political, social, academic, and humanitarian spheres in Kuwait, and local media.<\/p>\n
Navruz, which has a long history that extends back six thousand years, signifies the arrival of spring, the awakening of nature, and man’s spiritual purification. In many Central Asian countries Navruz is celebrated as the beginning of the new year with grand festivities.<\/p>\n

Concerts and performances of local folklore groups, amateur art groups, circus artists, family ensembles, bakhshish, gathering of poets, professional performers, and talented pop artists will be organized at the local festivals.<\/p>\n\r\n
