Following the results of bilateral talks, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev officially opened branches of the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization in Almaty and M.Auezov South Kazakhstan University in the city of Chirchik.
The mutual opening of branches of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan universities was another evidence of dynamically developing multifaceted relations between the two fraternal countries.
The educational institutions will prepare highly qualified personnel in the required technical areas.
The Heads of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan also took part in the arrival ceremony of the first freight train on the route “Xi An – Khorgos – Almaty-Saryagach – Tashkent”.
The freight train departed from the Kazakh-Chinese terminal in Xi An to the Khorgos dry port. The containers were overloaded and sent on the railways of Kazakhstan through the “Saryagach” station to the final point at the “Tashkent” station.
This route will reduce freight time, thus giving a powerful boost to trade growth.
