According to Ednews, the President of IEPF, Umud Mirzayev, warmly received the guests, providing them with a comprehensive overview of the organization's history, its ongoing initiatives, and the fundamental mission driving its activities.

Among the distinguished attendees were Kholmurad Salimov, Chairman of the Union of Journalists of Uzbekistan; Husan Ermatov, esteemed editor-in-chief of "Trest" and "Doverie" newspapers; Shohrat Oripov, leading the Council of Young Journalists under the Union of Journalists of Uzbekistan; Feroza Odilova, editor-in-chief of "Tong Yuzteri" newspaper; Aziza Halimova, representing the State of Uzbekistan; and the editor of the International news editorial office of the Information Agency.

The sincere atmosphere of the meeting was enhanced by the gracious gesture of the Uzbek guests, who presented traditional Uzbek rice pilaf. Notably, Husan Ermatov, renowned for his culinary skills, took charge of preparing the pilaf, a task traditionally entrusted to men during ceremonial occasions in Uzbekistan. The aromatic flavors of Uzbek pilaf delighted both guests and employees of the foundation as they savored this culinary delight.

During his address, President U. Mirzayev shed light on the organization's vision and its historical significance, recounting his experiences during the 90s, particularly amidst the Armenian aggression in Karabakh. He emphasized the paramount importance of collaborative efforts between Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, particularly within the realm of media.
