Shigeru Wakakuwa.

“I have heard a lot about the Kyrgyz National University,” Mr. Tadachika Nakayama began his speech. – We cooperate with the Japanese Government, and your University has a special status and cooperates with the government of your country too. Thus, you and I are in the same position. Therefore, we wanted to offer cooperation in the field of education and training of young personnel. A special feature of our university is that we pay more attention to practice. As you know, in Japan there is currently a shortage of workers and we have high hopes for states such as Kyrgyzstan, where there are many young people. We believe that the education and experience they received in Japan will make a great contribution to the development of Kyrgyzstan. I can firmly say that your youth will receive a decent education and practical experience in Japan.”

He also spoke about the history and areas of training at his university.

The Vice-Rector of KNU warmly welcomed the guests from Japan within the walls of the National University, thanked them for the information provided and expressed their readiness for cooperation.

Also the meeting was attended by the Head of the educational department of KNU Almazbek Kydyraliev and the Director of the Institute of Computer Technologies and Artificial Intelligence Amantur Ryspayev.
