The Embassy of our country in Beijing organized a football tournament among Uzbek students in honor of January 14 - Defender of the Fatherland Day.

More than 40 compatriots took part in it. Following the results of the competition, the teams that won prizes were awarded "embassy cups". National dishes and Uzbek songs were presented to the attention of compatriots.

During the conversation with compatriots, the importance of their active participation in important political, economic, cultural and humanitarian events in our country, as well as an active life position and civic duty were noted.

They also talked about the large-scale reforms and changes being implemented in Uzbekistan in various fields, the importance of the results achieved in the country in recent years, as well as the conditions created in our country for Uzbek students studying abroad.

This event caused a positive response among Uzbek students studying in China. In the comments written by our compatriots in the virtual groups "Embassy football" and "Alga, Uzbekistan" of the Vichat social page, a number of positive reviews are noted, including that holding such events is of great importance for the unity of compatriots.

Danir Ziyadullaev, a student at North China University of Technology:

- Today we took an active part in a football tournament organized by our embassy on the occasion of January 14 - Defender of the Fatherland Day. Such contests are held here all the time in connection with important holidays in our country.

Being a defender of the Fatherland is the sacred duty of every young man. At this moment, I want to congratulate all our compatriots on this significant date.

Student of the Chinese University of Peoples and Nationalities Faez Akhmedov: 

- I am glad to take part in an organized football tournament. Here I also met and made new friends with our new compatriots who came to China for education.

I think that the value of the motherland is very well felt by a person who is in a foreign country, working in a foreign country. We felt particularly proud listening to our anthem during the event.

I take this opportunity to cordially congratulate all our compatriots on Defender of the Fatherland Day and the 32nd anniversary of the formation of the Armed Forces of Uzbekistan.

Student of Beijing Transport University Azjon Rizakulov:

- On the occasion of Defender of the Fatherland Day, students from Uzbekistan studying in China took part in a football tournament. The football tournament was very intense. The winning teams were awarded with special trophies. Uzbek national melodies were played during the event, and we tasted national dishes.

Such events allow us to unite compatriots who, like us, are in China, and once again feel a sense of love for their Homeland.
