In the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On the Strategy of Uzbekistan-2030” of September 11, 2023, the Head of State adopted this important document covering all spheres of life in our society. This document has become significant in a real sense, as it defined the socio-economic directions of our country’s development.

- As a long-time professor-teacher, I have carefully read this decree and received full information about the strategic steps of Uzbekistan until 2030, said First Vice-Rector of “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, Professor J.Eltazarov.

This strategy “Uzbekistan-2030” devotes a separate section, in particular, to the further stage of development of higher education.

The ultimate goal is to enter the thousand best universities in the world with future international certification and accreditation. Our university is currently carrying out all the organizational work in this direction.

And one more important issue.

It may also be noted that the Organisation for the Activity of Chairs “Uzbek Studies” of “Silk Road” International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage has been established in foreign educational and scientific organizations, which show great interest in the study of the rich scientific, historical, cultural and spiritual heritage of our country. In general, as a result of the implementation of these parallel decrees and resolutions, which are being promoted today by the head of our state, a very great consistency of reforms in all spheres is being ensured, which serves as a leading factor of changes in the socio-economic life of our people.
