Mar 2019. Uzbekistan has been considered
to be the coming geostrategic hub of the Central and of the Eurasian landmass

their economic revitalization that opens the window to Uzbekistan and to the
Central Asia. Before the talk, I took a photo with Dr CHAN Man Hung, Thomas (Director,
One Belt One Road Research Institute (OBORRI), Chu Hai College of Higher
Education) for memory.
It is my first time visited Chu Hai College of Higher Education. The new campus was established in 2016 and its building cost and land were supported by Jockey Club and Government respectively.
The Chu Hai College of Higher
Education founded in 1947. The name of
the College was explained in the following diagram.

I recognized a new friend Mr.
Stephen Chan (Deputy President, The Association of Hong Kong Accountants (AHKA);
Chief Consultant, Trinity-C Management Ltd.).
In the beginning, Prof. CF Lee

Then Dr Thomas Chan introduced

In Uzbekistan, they used seven languages but two most common languages are Uzbek and Russian.

It is because Uzbekistan in Central Asia surrounded by Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
Then Prof. Karimov briefed the Silk
Road
Some facts and figures about
mineral resource ranking in the world such as Natural gas, Gold, Copper,
Uranium and Coal were mentioned.

policy station before this on-site visa.
After that Prof. Karimov

Some achieved results were
demonstrated as follows. There are three

Availability”, “Reduce Business Costs” and “Strengthen Governance”. “Foreign Partnership of Higher Education”, “Support

The following ranking
demonstrated massive improvements in Uzbekistan (190 countries ranked),

to about $8,XXX.00 Uzs. Now, people
allowed to take photo in the train underground.
