On June 17, Prof. Dr. Uktam Rahimovich Salomov, Rector of Fergana Polytechnic Institute; Mr. Saidmukhammad Tuychiboyzoda, Head of International Affairs Division, Fergana State University; and Mr. Djalilov Muzaffar, Minister-Counselor of Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Japan paid a courtesy visit to President Takashi Wada. Both the university and the institute, located in the Fergana Region in the eastern part of the country, have a strong interest in collaboration with Kanazawa University, and made this trip on their occasion of visiting Japan. As they both emphasize on the engineering field, they strongly desire to establish researcher exchange and mobility with K.U. Prof. Matsumoto, Dean of Institute of Science and Engineering, who also attended the meeting. There were vigorous discussions about finding possible areas of exchange among the wide range of research conducted on both sides.
