November 21–22, 2019 Rector of the Tashkent Institute for the Design, Construction and Operation of Roads (Republic of Uzbekistan) A.A. Riskulov invited the rector of our university, Yuri Ivanovich Kulazhenko, and the vice-rector for academic work, Kazakov Nikolay Nikolayevich, to take part in the international scientific-practical conference «Global Partnership as a Condition and Guarantee of Sustainable Development» in Tashkent.
The program of the visit provided for participation in conference events, business negotiations for the development of mutually beneficial cooperation, as well as the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation. Its purpose is to obtain practical results of the established friendship and understanding between the two educational institutions.
The busy schedule included conducting business negotiations, speaking at a conference, and discussing a draft internship schedule and academic mobility. Yuri Ivanovich found time to visit the Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers (TIRE).
TIRE has been our partner since 2009; we received fellow railway workers in June 2018, and also sent two teachers to Tashkent to give lectures in April 2019. During the current meeting, Yuri Ivanovich discussed with the leadership of TIRE the issues of effective and mutually beneficial use of international partnerships for the development of higher railway education. The discussion resulted in the signing of an updated Cooperation Agreement between BSUT and TIRE. It provides for the intensification of cooperation in the field of academic mobility and staff development
The long-standing friendship between BSUT and Uzbek institutes not only meets the main educational trends in cooperation between the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Uzbekistan, but also contributes to the development of a higher transport education system both in the field of road construction and in the 1,520 mm gauge.
