On the sidelines of this meeting, Sirojiddin Muhriddin and UK Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Affairs Yvette Cooper signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in science, higher education, and English language learning. This document opens new opportunities for expanding cooperation between Tajikistan and the United Kingdom in science and education.
