Over the past time, many events have been held for cooperation between the two scientific institutions and joint projects have been implemented. For example, on 7-9, October, 2021 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in the collection of lectures of the international symposium dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Manas University on the topic “International family and values”, by the Deputy Director of the Center O. Mukhammadiev was published an article entitled “The issue of equality in Islam”.
