As part of the cultural program of the summit in the city of Khujand, Tajikistan, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, and President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov visited the Khujand Fortress and got acquainted with its history.

It is noted that the construction of this unique complex dates back to the 4th-5th centuries BC. Archaeological excavations have revealed that the first fortress was built during that period.

During the recent restoration work, the fortress walls, arches and gates were restored, an administrative building, handicraft shops were built, and models of ancient courtyards of Khujand were created.

A complex of 5 exhibition halls dedicated to the history and culture of the Tajik people has been built in the region. In 8 courtyards, craftsmen are engaged in calligraphy, painting, adras weaving, suzan embroidery, stone carving, blacksmithing and pottery.

The heads of state viewed an exhibition of handicrafts, agricultural products and national cuisine of the three countries and watched artistic performances.
