COOPERATION BETWEEN JASU AND TASHKENT STATE UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS REACHES A NEW LEVEL
On 29–30 October 2026, Tashkent State University of Economics (TSUE) organised the 5th International Forum, “Global and National Economic Trends: Uzbekistan–2030 Strategy”, dedicated to the university’s 95th anniversary.
The international forum was attended by Keneshbek Zhumabekovich Usenov, Rector of Jalal-Abad State University named after B. Osmonov (JASU).
As part of the forum, JASU Rector Keneshbek Usenov and TSUE Rector Kongratbay Avezimbetovich Sharipov signed a Roadmap aimed at further strengthening and expanding cooperation between the two universities.
The document outlines several priority areas for joint initiatives and projects, including expanding academic mobility, introducing student exchange programmes, and developing and implementing joint educational and research projects.
In particular, the parties agreed to organise a one-semester study programme at TSUE for students from Kyrgyzstan starting from the next academic semester, as well as to hold a joint Winter School involving both universities.
Another important area of cooperation is the planned signing, in December 2026, of a trilateral agreement between Xi’an International Studies University of the People's Republic of China, Jalal-Abad State University named after B. Osmonov, and Tashkent State University of Economics.
The agreement will provide for the establishment of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan Railway Economic Research Centre. The Centre will focus on research into the economic aspects of the railway project, the development of transport and logistics connectivity, and the prospects for regional economic cooperation.
The implementation of the initiatives and projects outlined in the Roadmap will give practical substance to inter-university cooperation, create new academic opportunities for students and faculty, expand joint research activities, and strengthen educational and scientific ties among universities in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and China.
Expanding international cooperation, implementing joint educational and research projects, and strengthening academic partnerships with universities in Central Asia and China remain among JASU’s key development priorities.
