The international scientific and practical conference "The economic security of the state as the main aspect of national security" was held at the Kyrgyz National University. J. Balasagyn. The conference was opened by Rector of the University Tolobek Abdyrakhmanov and Deputy of the Jogorku Kenesh of the 2nd and 5th convocations, ex-Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Kyrgyz Republic Roza Aknazarova.
In his welcoming speech, Deputy Secretary General of the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly Mikhail Fedorov outlined the role of the Day of Spiritual Harmony of the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly in the modern unstable life of citizens, no matter what country they represent. Special attention he paid to the development of the regions of Russia and the countries of Central Asia on an innovative basis with the involvement of young people in solving urgent problems. A vivid example of an innovative approach to solving the problems of his country, according to Mikhail Fedorov, was shown by Korchubek Aknazarov. He noted that even today there is everything necessary: literate youth, who are fluent in information technologies, unique natural resources, etc. - to launch the project "Kyrgyzstan - the territory of creators." In each higher educational institution, Territories of creators with the participation of business and government should be created. A large similar experience has been accumulated in Russia: "Boiling Point", "Diploma as a Startup", etc. Such innovative platforms are being formed today in a number of educational institutions in Kyrgyzstan, and this is the right direction, since the average age of Nobel Prize winners when they made discoveries is 26 years. This means that the future belongs to the youth and for more effective work of the youth of different countries it is necessary to unite and create.
The second event - the International round table "Korchubek Aknazarov, Hero of Socialist Labor - the sower of goodness and prudence on the Earth" - consolidated the dialogue between the teams of students and teachers who train specialists at the I. Razzakov Kyrgyz Technical University and the Ural State Economic University.
