In accordance with the instructions of the President, we have appealed to the Olympic Council of Asia to host the 2030 Asian Games in Tashkent and Samarkand. Until then you go abroad and learn, we cannot do anything without your help. The University will be given 10 seats for the next year's Tokyo Olympics," the NOC president said to students.
