From business negotiations to spiritual unity. The first day of the III Belarusian-Uzbek Women's Business Forum concluded with a colorful concert program

От деловых переговоров к душевному единству. Колоритной концертной программой завершился первый день III Белорусско-узбекского женского бизнес-форума
The Vitebsk platform united artists from two countries. On stage, spectators were treated to dance and song performances by Belarusian and Uzbek creative groups, artists, Grand Prix winners, and laureates of the International Children's Song Contest and the "Vitebsk" Pop Song Contest.

A touching moment was the screening of a fragment from the legendary film "Only Old Men Are Going to Battle." Symbolically, Romeo himself, People's Artist of Uzbekistan Rustam Sagdullaev, appeared on stage, and the audience did not spare their applause for the beloved actor.

The beloved song "Smuglyanka" and the performance "Are You Not From Vitebsk?" became bright highlights of the celebration. Students of VSU named after P. Masherov, Yana, Polina, and Timofey, were absolutely delighted with the folk dance "White Gold." Previously, the students had never seen national Uzbek costumes and creative performances, so the program was to their liking.

– This is the first time we've seen anything like it! It was vibrant and unique! – the students admitted.

And then the hall sang: "Through the years, through distances, on any road, in any direction..."

These familiar lines became the main symbol of the evening.
– We sing the same songs, listen to the same music that has become folk for all of us, – emphasized People's Artist of Belarus Anatoly Yarmolenko during his performance.

By the way, the song that "stays with a person" was performed by the People's Artist of Belarus together with the Uzbek soloist Akbar Atamukhamedov.

– It was an incredible tandem of two countries. At first, you catch the feeling that you are in your homeland, then the Belarusian performances brought you back to Vitebsk, – shared her first emotions the forum participant, head of the AI office of Uzbekistan Kiyamova Nilufar.
