“Alisher Navoi and Kazakh Literature.” The work of the Uzbek writer Kaldybek Seidanov was presented in Uzbekistan. His work “Kandashlar” was also presented.

The literary scholar studied the creative heritage and connection between the great personalities of the two countries - Abai and Navoi. In addition, Kaldybek Seidanov wrote a Kazakh Literature textbook for Kazakh schools in Uzbekistan.
“I have written many works. Most of them are dedicated to the friendship of two peoples - Kazakh and Uzbek. The example of this can be found in the book “Abai and the Literature of Asia.” This year we celebrate the 125th anniversary of Mukhtar Auezov. At the moment I am preparing the publication “Mukhtar and Literature of Central Asia” and an educational guide. I attach great importance to the education of young people. I hope that my books will help them in their development as individuals,” the writer said.
