October 16, 2026
On Friday, October 9, 2026, a delegation of five representatives from the State Institution "Center for International Programs" of Tajikistan, led by Director Ramazon ODINAZODA, visited TUFS. The Center is a government-affiliated organization responsible for sending Tajik students abroad through partnerships with overseas universities and study abroad support programs, with the aim of fostering specialized talent.
During the visit, Associate Professor Shizuo Shimada of the TUFS Central Asian Studies Program hosted the delegation. Associate Professor Shimada provided an overview of TUFS, and the visiting delegation explained the Center’s initiatives. In the following discussion, the importance of human resource development—particularly in the fields of science, engineering, and energy—was highlighted. The delegation expressed interest in sending young talent to Japan, a country with advanced science and technology, and emphasized the need to enhance Japanese language education to support such exchanges, leading to a lively exchange of views.
TUFS signed an international academic exchange agreement with the Tajik International University of Foreign Languages named after Sotim Ulughzoda in 2017 and has continued to accept international students from Tajikistan. Building on this track record, this visit served as an extremely meaningful opportunity for both parties to reaffirm their commitment to further developing future exchanges and strengthening collaboration.
