"National values are an important part of the history, culture, customs, traditions, religious beliefs and lifestyle of the people, and are the main factors determining the uniqueness of each nation. Values reflect the spiritual wealth of the people, their spiritual maturity and have been formed over the centuries. In today's globalization, preserving and passing on national values to the next generation is one of the urgent issues. Against the backdrop of new technologies, modern lifestyles and cultural changes, we must not lose our identity. Our national values are our most invaluable wealth. It is the duty of each of us to preserve, pass on and develop them to the next generation. The future of each nation depends on the extent to which it can preserve its values. Therefore, we must educate our youth in a spirit of respect for national traditions and customs, and teach them to love their history and culture." National dress is the image of the nation, the beauty of the person, and the expression of national pride. Dresses made of national fabrics add beauty to the beauty of our women and grace to their appearance. In addition, these dresses further enhance the sense of respect for our national values among our people, especially our girls.
