Strengthening the bonds of friendship and cultural cooperation between Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, further developing collaboration between the two higher education institutions, exchanging creative experience, and expanding interaction between professors, teachers, and students — all this can rightfully be considered one of the important reforms currently being implemented between the two countries.
These days, a delegation of professors and teachers from the Uzbekistan State Institute of Arts and Culture, headed by Rector Professor Nodirbek Sayfullayev, is on a working visit to the Republic of Azerbaijan. The purpose of the visit is to exchange experience, improve professional skills, and organize a joint concert at the International Mugham Center of Azerbaijan.
The delegation includes professors and teachers from the Faculty of Folk Art — the departments of “National Singing” and “Instrumental Performance”: People’s Singers of Uzbekistan, Professors Beknazar Dusmuradov and Soyibjon Niyozov; Honored Artist of Uzbekistan, Professor Akhmatjon Dadayev; Associate Professors Yusuf Vahidov, Husniddin Khusanov, Acting Associate Professor Qahramon Turayev, and teacher Javohir Turatov.
On the first day of their visit, the delegation visited the Carpet Museum — the first carpet museum in the world — and the Azerbaijan Museum of Art, where they became acquainted with various carpet weaving techniques and information related to different historical periods.
After that, they visited the International Mugham Center of Azerbaijan, where they met with the Center’s Director, Sahib Pashazade. During the meeting, the parties discussed the Center’s activities and issues related to thorough preparation for the upcoming joint creative concert.
