Speaking at the plenary session dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Asunción, Sodiq Safoyev highlighted Uzbekistan’s progress in the process of accession to the World Trade Organization and the reforms being implemented in this area. It was also emphasised that Uzbekistan is interested in further expanding cooperation with MERCOSUR countries in trade and investment, agriculture, food security, green energy, transport and logistics, education, science, tourism, and cultural and humanitarian exchanges. On the sidelines of the summit, the parties considered opportunities to increase trade between Uzbekistan and Paraguay, expand mutual market access, and implement joint projects in the agro-industrial, energy, mining, chemical and textile sectors.

Research Article Prepared under the Supervision of the UWED Vice-Rector Published in a Prestigious International Academic Journal

Another significant academic achievement has been recorded within the framework of the UWED/IAS project “Migration from Central Asia to East Asia”, implemented under the supervision of Professor Timur Dadabayev, Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy. The research article entitled “Aspirational Migration and Negotiated Belonging: Tajik Women, Faith and Gender in South Korea”, prepared as part of the project, has been published in the international academic journal “Studies of Transition States and Societies”. The article examines the migration experiences of Tajik women living in South Korea, focusing on gender issues, religious identity and the formation of a sense of belonging within the host society. The study considers migration not only as an economic and labour-related process, but also as a complex social phenomenon associated with pursuing education, achieving independence, accessing new opportunities and building a future. The article also explores how Tajik women preserve their religious and cultural values in the context of migration, adapt to a new social environment and develop a distinct sense of belonging. This research makes an important contribution to the study of migration from Central Asia to East Asian countries, women’s mobility, religious identity, gender relations and intercultural adaptation.
