Online lecture of the professors of the University of Northumbria was organized

Cooperation with the University of world economy and diplomacy and the University of Northumbria, Great Britain was established. The sides agreed to organize an online lecture for UWED Masters and researchers of British professors on the scientific research of the University of Northumbria, on the educational process, as well as on international trade, the situation in the world economy. On June 9, the first of such lectures was on the topic “Global Britain: Contemporary Issues in Post-Brexit International Trade”. As a speaker performed the Head of the UoN Leadership and Strategy Center Joyce Liddle, Professor of Public Policy and Management at Newcastle Business School (NBS) John Shutt.

The online meeting was also attended by representatives of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Great Britain, professors of the University of Northumbria, the leadership of UWED, the professors and teachers team, researchers and students. After the mutual acquaintance of the parties and the introductory speech, lectures began and they caused great interest and discussions.

On January 1, 2021, the United Kingdom officially left the European Union (EU) after 48 years of "brotherhood" in exchange for being able to determine its own future. After Brexit, the UK intends to conclude free trade agreements with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. To date, London has signed trade agreements with Japan, Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, Vietnam and some other countries. It is expected that by 2022, the countries with which trade agreements are concluded will account for 80% of the UK's foreign trade. This prompted the British Foreign Office to promptly incorporate the financial aid and Development Support programme into its foreign policy.

Businesses everywhere are grappling with the implications of the UK-EU trade deal, especially companies in the UK and EU whose supply chains and trade routes are intimately connected.  Multinationals with manufacturing facilities in the UK are concerned that parts sourced from the EU may suddenly be delayed, more expensive, or no longer available. Other complications could also arise from longer border checks and overwhelmed ports, as well as shortages of food, medicine, fuel, and other commodities. Such uncertainties, the region's "new normal" adaptation after Brexit, each company must decide independently.

At the end of the extensive discussion, scientific basis and a rich report on analytical information, the UWED audience was interested in the opinions of professors from England on tourism development in Central Asia, increasing economic indicators, and expressed their views on the consequences of Brexit, European countries and its impact on the global scale. Responding in detail to the questions of young researchers about the educational processes in Europe, in particular, the University of Northumbria, the experts highly appreciated the holding such meetings and the interest of young people from Uzbekistan in political processes.
