December 15 this year At the Institute for Advanced International Studies, a meeting was held with a delegation from the School of Law of the University of Chicago, USA, led by Professor Tom Ginsburg.


At the beginning of the meeting, the guests were acquainted with the current activities of 9 regional and thematic Centers and long-term plans to deepen the scientific and analytical potential of the Institute.
The main agenda of the meeting was devoted to discussing issues from students at the University of Chicago based on research topics on Uzbekistan. In particular, Chinese-Uzbek relations were discussed within the framework of the “One Belt, One Road” program, and the attractiveness of such projects not only for Uzbekistan, but also for China.
During the discussion, American students expressed their opinion about the commitment of the population of Uzbekistan to learning foreign languages. Discussing the multilingualism of the population, questions were considered about the role of minority languages (Tajik, Karakalpak) in Uzbekistan and the policy pursued by the state to promote the study of these languages.
The students emphasized that with the election of Shavkat Mirziyoyev, there has been rapid growth in attracting investments in various sectors of the country’s economy. One of the students noted the achievements of Uzbekistan within the framework of anti-corruption policy, which has a positive effect on Uzbekistan’s accession to the WTO. In addition, Uzbekistan’s commitment to a multi-vector foreign policy creates favorable conditions for mutually beneficial cooperation with all partners.
