I would like to take this opportunity to convey words of gratitude and greetings from BNTU Rector Sergey Vasilyevich Kharitonchik. We are certainly ready to continue our constructive cooperation and discuss in detail new areas for personnel training, particularly in energy and construction, as well as the development of distance learning."

Key topics included the development of joint educational programs, the integration of distance learning, and the expansion of academic mobility. Particular attention was paid to organizing internships for Uzbek students at Belarusian enterprises. According to Sadokat Siddikova, this will not only allow young people to experience the profession firsthand but also motivate them to continue their studies in a joint master's program.

Following the official part of the talks, the foreign guests were given a tour of BNTU's advanced research and educational centers and laboratories. The delegation was able to assess the Belarusian university's facilities, which will serve as a solid foundation for the implementation of all planned activities.
