Qatar National Library (QNL) and the National Library of Uzbekistan have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to lay the groundwork for future collaboration. Signed by QNL Executive Director Tan Huism, and Director of the National Library of Uzbekistan, Umida Teshabayeva, the MOU outlines a framework for potential joint initiatives in cultural, technical, scientific and librarianship fields. The MOU marks a significant milestone in their joint efforts to promote shared Islamic cultural heritage. Speaking at the MoU signing ceremony, QNL Executive Director Tan Huism emphasized the significance of cultural diplomacy and international cooperation in preserving cultural heritage, facilitating knowledge dissemination, and improving information access. "Our commitment at Qatar National Library is to work closely with our counterparts here at the National Library of Uzbekistan to develop innovative projects and initiatives that will serve both our countries and the global community," she said. "Together, we aim to leverage the evolving field of librarianship to create projects that not only serve our countries but also enhance global access to knowledge and contribute to a broader appreciation of our shared cultural legacy," she added. The MoU builds upon Qatar National Library's ongoing efforts to work with Uzbek institutions to promote Islamic heritage. In 2022, Qatar National Library entered into an MoU with the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, to further collaborative initiatives in documentary heritage promotion, and protection. The National Library of Uzbekistan was founded in 1870 and consists of more than 8 million resources, including collections of maps, gramophones, sheet music, posters, newspapers, microfiche and microfilm. The library has unique documents that can be found only in three libraries in the world. Source: Qatar News Agency
