Nazarbekov is appointed Minister of Culture. Tourism is no longer under his control

By the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Ozodbek Ahmadovich Nazarbekov was appointed as the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

"Earlier, Ozodbek Nazarbekov's candidacy was approved by the deputies of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis," said Sherzod Asadov, the press secretary of the President.

However, it is not known when the ministry named "Culture and Tourism" was transformed into the "Ministry of Culture" in December 2022 and when the term "tourism" was removed from its name.
