Noting the comprehensive reforms of the education system in Uzbekistan, which in recent years have made it possible to attract about 25 foreign universities to the country, David Hurley also reported that there are good prospects for bilateral cooperation with a number of leading Australian educational institutions that could find their place in the education system of our country.
The possibility of mutually beneficial cooperation in the transfer of Australian experience in the system of irrigation and melioration of agricultural land and modern methods of livestock development was also emphasized.
During the conversation, the parties exchanged views on other promising areas of Uzbek-Australian cooperation.
