History
editFrom the opening, the station was called Friendship of Peoples (Uzbek: Xalqlar Doʻstligi). On 6 August 2008, the Xalqlar Doʻstligi metro station was renamed into Bunyodkor. On 26 April 2018, at a video conference, the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed to return the previous name. The Tashkent City Kengash of People's Deputies at the 36th session on 3 May 2018 approved the return of the name "Xalqlar Doʻstligi" to the Bunyodkor metro station.[2]
