As part of the fruitful cooperation between the International University for the Humanities and Development (IUHD) and the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS) of Japan, two IUHD students — Novruz Allanazarov and Aybolek Atayeva — have been sent to Japan to study at TUFS for one academic year within the framework of the student exchange program.

Since the launch of the exchange program, a total of 11 IUHD students have studied at TUFS, while one student from Japan has been hosted by IUHD. These exchanges have contributed to expanding educational cooperation, enriching intercultural understanding, and supporting the university’s efforts to integrate into the global academic community.

An important stage in the development of IUHD–TUFS relations was the establishment of the Global Japan Office at IUHD in 2016, which has played a key role in promoting Japanese language education and fostering academic collaboration. The Office continues to support the teaching of the Japanese language at the university and to strengthen educational and cultural connections between the two friendly nations.
