During the event, representatives of the Uzbekcosmos Agency presented their ideas and a concept called "Ready to Take Off: Pitching Your IAC Vision for 2028". The agency's Deputy director, Muhiddin Ibragimov, took the initiative to hold the International Astronautical Congress in 2028 in Samarkand.
The nomination of Samarkand as a potential host city opens up the opportunity for Uzbekistan to become a venue for one of the world's largest forums in the field of space science and technology.
