The Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov held a meeting in Tashkent with the President of the International Youth Chamber of Japan Masahiro Aso.
“We welcome the initiative to open a branch of the chamber in Uzbekistan,” Bakhtiyor Saidov wrote on his Telegram channel.
This will serve as “another important bridge connecting our peoples” and will become “a new opportunity for the implementation of joint projects, especially using the enormous potential of youth,” Bakhtiyor Saidov noted.
The International Youth Chamber of Japan, established in 1949, unites young people aged 20 to 40 years. Based on three principles - learning, service and friendship - it "strives to create a better society and actively works on social issues," the organization's website says.
Young people participating in the work of the chamber gain diverse knowledge and management experience, as a result of which they can apply, among other things, for positions in the government and for election as deputies.
Part of the Youth Chamber International (JCI), founded in 1915 in the United States, the Japan Chamber collaborates with other youth chambers in different countries and hosts international events, including student exchanges.
