TASHKENT \/ ISLAMABAD : 16 April 2025 – In a move that deeply resonates with the hearts of millions across Central and South Asia, the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, has announced that the newly built city in the Andijan region will be named after Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur, the great founder of the Baburid Empire and a beloved historical figure for both Uzbeks and Pakistanis.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev emphasized the exceptional legacy of Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur \u2013 a great thinker, poet, and statesman. To honor Babur\u2019s profound contributions to science, literature, and culture, and to immortalize his memory, President proposed naming the newly built city \u201cBabur City\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBabur Mirza was a worthy successor of the Timurid Renaissance, a patron of science, culture, arts, and literature. His remarkable legacy glorified our people around the world. Building a city that carries his name is a symbolic realization of his lifelong dream,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n

For Pakistan, where Babur\u2019s legacy lives on through centuries of history, architecture, and culture, this is a profound gesture of unity and shared heritage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andijan, the birthplace of Babur, is one of the most densely populated areas in Uzbekistan. With 10% of the nation\u2019s population residing in just 1% of its territory, the government launched a visionary project in 2021 to build a new city to ease urban pressure and provide modern living standards. This bold project is being constructed in eight phases on 4,000 hectares of previously unused land.<\/p>\n

\"\"Already, 63 apartment blocks, a modern school for 1,680 students, a kindergarten, a medical center, a light industry enterprise, and an affordable housing center have been completed. The essential infrastructure, including roads, water supply, gas, electricity, and heating, has been fully established. A new reservoir and distribution station have also been launched to supply clean drinking water.<\/p>\n

The future city named after Babur is planned as a modern and technologically advanced urban space, deeply rooted in cultural and spiritual values. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Central to its development will be a large educational complex, which will include kindergartens, schools, a university, a museum, a library, and an IT park. The city will also feature a world-class sports facility.<\/p>\n

Significant attention is being given to environmental and recreational spaces. Among them is the \u201cYangi O\u2019zbekiston\u201d Park, which spans 19 hectares and is planted with over 10,000 trees, offering visitors scenic areas for rest and a spacious amphitheater for cultural events.<\/p>\n

Another key site is \u201cVatanparvar\u201d (\u201cPatriot\u201d) Park, where visitors will find the \u201cOath to the Homeland\u201d monument, a museum dedicated to patriotism, and various performance venues.<\/p>\n

A grand monument to Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur will be built at the city\u2019s highest point, symbolizing his spiritual return to the land of his birth.<\/p>\n
