On June 13-18 this year, a group of creators of “Channel News Asia – CNA” came to our country to demonstrate to the world media the range of reforms taking place in the country. In the process of preparing the programme, the guests also visited Samarkand, familiarising in detail with the positive aspects of Samarkand, its tourism potential and illustrating a number of attractions. The media company representatives also visited “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage in Samarkand on June 16 to learn about the educational processes taking place there. They interviewed Vice Rector Tony Zou and talked with students about their interests and aspirations.
