June 24 was established by the Decree of the President of Romania as the day when the traditional Romanian Blouse Day is celebrated. Romanian Blouse is a valuable item among the folk costumes, which for centuries has been made in the homes of Romanian peasants from natural materials, woven at home, and decorations with hand-sewn yarn ornaments, dyed in natural colors. Ornaments, which vary by region, are of rare beauty and have a meaning lost in the mists of time.

On December 8, 2022, the Embassy of Romania in Tashkent received a letter of gratitude from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan for its contribution to the development and strengthening of bilateral and multilateral ties with Uzbekistan.
