There was a warm atmosphere at the education exhibition on the 23rd, attracting representatives from 6 local universities and 9 middle schools to attend and consult, and nearly 1,300 local students and parents to engage in exchange. The participating institutions introduced in detail Beijing's educational resources, cooperation directions, and scholarship systems to the participants by showcasing characteristic cooperation projects and explaining policy measures; they also provided "one-stop" consultation on visa application and academic certification. In addition, on-site arrangements were made for students studying in Beijing to share their study experience, giving participants a first-hand understanding of the real experience of "studying in Beijing".

Askarov Bekzod, a second-year student from the Affiliated High School of Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, said: "After listening to the introduction of Beijing's universities, I particularly yearn to study digital cultural and creative design in Beijing. I learned about different teaching models on site, and the sharing of the 'Study Beijing' scholarship policy by senior students also made me more confident. I hope to successfully obtain the admission notice from a Beijing university through the student recruitment base school channel next year."

A delegate from education delegation of Beijing said that the next step will be to take Tashkent as a fulcrum to promote in-depth alignment of Beijing's educational resources with Uzbekistan's "school expansion plan" and contribute "Chinese educational wisdom" to talent development for the "Belt and Road" Initiative. As an important business card for Beijing's educational publicity to the outside world, this education exhibition closely follows the framework of China-Uzbekistan "Belt and Road" education initiative, further promotes the alignment of Beijing's high-quality educational resources with Uzbekistan's educational needs, and plays an important role in serving the construction of Beijing as an international exchange center, optimizing and strengthening the "Study Beijing" brand, and activating new momentum for China-Uzbekistan educational cooperation.
