The opening of the University was legally marked by the adoption of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PQ-3815 dated June 28, 2018. Despite the short term, the “Silk Road” University is already one of the most famous and prestigious higher educational institutions in our country and the first University in the field of tourism not only in Uzbekistan, but also in the Central Asian region.
