At the meeting, the parties emphasized the results of the joint work achieved in 2019, such as the visit of the delegation of the Spanish university to Uzbekistan in March last year, as well as negotiations with the leadership of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Special Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Following the meeting, the parties agreed to create joint educational programs, increase the quota for the exchange of students and professors within the framework of inter-university academic mobility, as well as study the issue of opening a branch of the University of Santiago de Compostela on the basis of Urgench State University and the possibility of organizing online Spanish courses for Uzbekistan students.
