Kuksaroy Presidential Palace
Kuksaroy Presidential Palace (Uzbek: Ko'ksaroy, Russian: Куксарой), meaning the Blue Palace in English, is currently the official workplace of the President of Uzbekistan, located in next to Oqsaroy in the capital city of Tashkent. Under former President Islam Karimov, who served from 1991 to 2016, the palace was used as his suburban mansion, with Oqsaroy acting as the seat of the executive branch in the country. This changed between 2016 and 2017 when newly elected President Mirziyoyev relocated the residence to Kuksaroy's current location.[1][2]
