“I visited Uzbekistan many times and was fascinated by sincere hospitality and friendliness of people”, the adviser of the University Akiko Shimada told to Jahon. “The sacred land of your country from time immemorial served as a center for the development of science and culture on the Great Silk Road. Great thinkers were born and worked here who made an invaluable contribution to the development of world civilization.
The history and modern development of Uzbekistan always cause great interest in the Japanese academic community.

Our university signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Uzbek State University of World Languages, according to which mutual trips of students, specialists and experts will be organized, joint scientific conferences and seminars are carried out”, the Japanese scientist said.
