Botirjon Asadov:

“I really liked your region. I saw Karelia with my own eyes; it is more beautiful than they write on the Internet. It is especially beautiful here in winter. Warmth and comfort here are created by the hospitality of the residents of Karelia.

Everything here pleasantly surprises me: I was told the amazing history of the creation of Karelia; I visited the National Museum, Petrozavodsk State University, walked along the embankment, the streets, and liked the street exercise equipment.

Karelia is a republic with enormous potential: the timber industry, mechanical engineering, machine tool manufacturing, mining and processing of minerals, tourism, aquaculture, and education are developed here.”

This is not only a requirement imposed on diplomats by the leadership from Tashkent, to be near our students, our citizens is answering the call of the heart,” emphasized the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the Russian Federation.
