"Al-Farabi Kazakh National University has partnerships with 25 universities in Uzbekistan. Currently, about 220 Uzbek students study at the educational institution.  On March 30, 2026, an agreement was reached to establish the Al-Farabi Scientific and Educational Center on the basis of Bukhara State University. The new center will become an important platform for studying the legacy of the great thinker, developing joint scientific and educational projects and strengthening humanitarian cooperation between the countries. Therefore, KazNU intends to develop cooperation with universities in Uzbekistan, and the University of the Turkic States occupies a special place in this regard",- said the rector.

Bahodir Turaev, in turn, noted that KazNU is one of the leading universities in Central Asia and expressed interest in strengthening academic and scientific ties.
