Distinguished Guests
This is a great day for the University of Central Asia and for me, and for all those who have participated in the development of this University in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. And I know that now is also a very special day for the people of the Kyrgyz Republic and for the leaders and the citizens of Naryn. It is indeed a great pleasure to join with you in celebrating a truly historic moment as we inaugurate the Naryn campus of the University.
It has been a great honor, and also a great pleasure, for my colleagues and for me to work with all of you in building here in Central Asia a great new institution. Your contributions have come in many ways; through your wise advice, through financial resources, through building materials, and through the energies of local workers. Everyone who has made a contribution will always be a part of this place.
You all have our warmest thanks not only for your generous material support, but also for your friendship and for your vision.
Let me mention, too, how honored I was when the President presented to me yesterday this country’s esteemed Danaker Order. This award has special meaning for me because it represents important ideals – values that the people of the Kyrgyz Republic honor in daily practice.
