Uzbekistan is exploring potential cooperation with The Walt Disney Company on creative and tourism projects, including a long-term proposal to build a Disneyland-style theme park, following talks in Tashkent.
The discussions were announced by Saida Mirziyoyeva, head of the presidential administration, after a meeting with Disney vice-president Haime Washington, a seven-time Emmy Award winner.
Mirziyoyeva said the talks focused on developing Uzbekistan’s creative industries and cooperation in children’s media and content production.
“Our goal is to turn the capital of Uzbekistan into a regional hub for the production of children’s content,” she said in a statement published on her Telegram channel.
Among the ideas discussed were the opening of a Central Asia regional office for Disney in Uzbekistan, the launch of an Uzbek-language children’s television channel and joint training programmes for local animation and film professionals.
Officials also discussed plans for a Cinema Park, a creative cluster aimed at supporting film and animation production.
In the longer term, the sides are considering the construction of a Disneyland-style theme park in Uzbekistan. No timeline or investment figures have been announced, and officials said the proposal remains at a conceptual stage.
Disney operates six major theme park resort destinations worldwide, including in the United States, Europe and Asia.
