Уважаемые преподаватели, сотрудники, студенты и их родители, а также абитуриенты, которые намереваются поступить в Международный университет туризма «Шелковый путь»! Примите самые искренние поздравления с одним из самых священных и почитаемых дней в Исламе – Днем Арафа!

В этот день, с заходом солнца, мир наполнится благодарным шепотом паломников, обращающихся на разных языках с искренним покаянием и мольбами о благополучии на Земле к Аллаху. В это непростое время, этот благородный день особенно важен для каждого из нас. Именно в этот день просят прощения у близких, совершают пост и молятся для того, чтобы Аллах услышал людей и помог им в их делах и начинаниях, а также в особом духовном очищении. День покаяния и признания своих ошибок, день прощения врагов и день, когда нужно проводить время в воздержании и духовных рассуждениях. Тогда молитвы будут услышаны, а душа отчищена против скверны греховного мира страстей. Пусть Всевышний дарует каждому из нас высокие человеческие качества, истинную веру и братское отношение друг к другу в это непростое для всех время.

Пусть в преддверии светлого праздника Курбан-байрам всё вокруг наполнится Божественным светом, миром и молитвами обо всех жителях земли, каждом народе.

Based on this order, a meeting was held on July 8, 2020 under the chairmanship of the First Vice-Rector, Professor Juliboy Eltazarov. The meeting established the Council for Women, which is directly responsible for women's issues and consists of 20 members.

Based on the results of voting by the Council members, the Director of Information and Resource Centre, Mukhayo Abbasova, was elected as Advisor on Women's Issues (on a voluntary basis) of the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism from among the candidates recommended by the Rector of the University in accordance with the Statute.

Relations between the Uzbek and Chinese peoples date back at least two thousand years - since the heyday of the Great Silk Road. When trade and scientific-cultural exchanges were actively developing between our peoples.

Today, the Uzbek-Chinese relations demonstrate a qualitatively new round of their active and dynamic development, testifying to the common aspirations of both states to further expand mutually beneficial cooperation.

Long-term and effective cooperation between the States still yields significant results in the form of major joint projects and effective initiatives in various fields.

In 2019, the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism signed a Memorandum of cooperation with Beijing International Studies University. According to the document, it is planned to cooperate in the field of academic mobility, both among teachers and students, the development of joint educational programs and specialized academic courses, as well as seminars and scientific conferences.

In the context of the pandemic, we continue to work on joint projects that will help us implement all our plans in the future.

Also, we would like to congratulate Beijing International Studies University (BISU) with the successful completion of accreditation for UNWTO.TedQual in six areas in the field of tourism.

It is worth noting that the TedQual accreditation is necessary for every University not only for the sake of prestige or commercial success. Having a TedQual certificate allows the University to become a member of the educational community, which includes leading educational institutions specializing in the travel industry.
