A Glimpse into a Great Legacy: Students at an Essay Competition

His invaluable legacy — Temur tuzuklari — has, for centuries, served as a school of statecraft and human values.

With the aim of fostering a deeper understanding of this remarkable heritage and interpreting it through a contemporary lens, an essay competition was organized among students.

As participants explored the theme “The Temur’s Code: A School of Justice and Governance,” they not only revisited history but also sought answers to pressing questions of the present day.

This competition became a distinctive platform for nurturing critical thinking, analytical insight, and self-awareness among young people, while inspiring them to draw lessons from the past in shaping a conscious and responsible future.

Youth, Peace, and Security: Central Asian Youth at the Negotiating Table

Launched on April 27, this prestigious event has brought together 25 outstanding young participants selected from four Central Asian countries—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

Within the framework of this initiative, participants are testing their knowledge and skills through a diplomatic simulation—an interactive process closely mirroring real-life international negotiations. Assuming the roles of diplomats, they articulate positions on global security issues, draft resolutions, and seek pathways to consensus. This process not only reinforces their theoretical understanding but also cultivates critical competencies such as analytical thinking, negotiation, communication, and decision-making.

Particularly noteworthy are the discussions held under the United Nations agenda on “Youth, Peace, and Security,” which further enhance the relevance of the event. This, in turn, highlights Uzbekistan’s proactive stance in advancing youth diplomacy.

The five-day program is structured to integrate theory with practice in a gradual and systematic manner. According to the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan, Ambassador Antti Karttunen,

“Participation in the Model OSCE program provides young people with practical experience in diplomacy and negotiations, while also deepening their understanding of how international organizations operate. By bringing together participants from across Central Asia, this initiative strengthens regional cooperation and supports youth engagement in addressing shared security challenges.”

Throughout the program, participants gain insight into the work of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, engage in discussions on pressing security issues, explore the role of youth in decision-making, and analyze the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace, and Security.

A strong emphasis is placed on experiential learning. Through interactive sessions, participants engage in multilateral negotiations on key topics. Particular attention is given to gender equality, inclusive participation, and the vital role of youth in promoting peace and security.

A Symbol of Recognition and Trust: A Letter of High Esteem from the Omani Ambassador

The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Sultanate of Oman to Uzbekistan, Wafa Jabr Al-Busaidi, addressed an official letter of high regard to the Rector of the university.

In his letter, the Ambassador particularly commended the university’s leading position in the academic and scientific sphere, its active role in promoting enlightenment, and its significant contribution to supporting research initiatives.

In addition, the Ambassador presented the University with a book entitled “A Reformer on the Throne.” This gesture goes beyond a symbolic gift—it represents a profound expression of trust and a commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation.

The book is dedicated to the life and reform-oriented governance of Sultan Qaboos bin Said, offering insightful perspectives at the intersection of history and politics. Now housed in the university’s library, this distinguished work serves as a valuable academic resource for students and researchers alike.

This meaningful contribution marks another important step toward deepening scientific and educational collaboration.
