The Ambassador of the Republic of Turkiye to Bulgaria H.E. Mr. Mehmet Sait Uyanık met with the management of the University of Telecommunications and Post. The Rector of the University Prof. Dr. Miglena Temelkova introduced to Mr. Uyanik the history of the UTP and pointed out the educational institutions in Turkiye with which the University has already signed Memorandums of Cooperation. She added that this year the Summer Academy of Leadership of the university was held in Turkiye, with more than 70 participants attending the forum on the island of Bozcaada.
“Our interest in the Republic of Turkiye as an educational destination is very high and we want to deepen our cooperation with Turkish universities, and we would like to see the result of a common product as well,” Prof. Temelkova said during the meeting. She added that the University is a specialized one in the field of information and telecommunication technologies and trains engineers in these fields, as well as in the field of management in communications and telecommunications. Opportunities for collaboration are diverse, and especially after COVID-19, many engineers work remotely. This makes it possible for professionals on both sides of the border to work in companies in the neighbouring country concerned, explained Prof. Temelkova.
“This is my first visit to an academic institution since the beginning of my mandate in Bulgaria. It is a real honor for me to be in such a reputable and old university,” said Mr. Uyanik “There is a huge potential between Turkiye and Bulgaria in every area. We want to make the most of the cooperation in the field of education,” the Ambassador said.
H. E. Mehmet Sait Uyanık received a special gift from Prof. Temelkova after the meeting – a copy of the oldest processed gold in the world found near the city of Varna, as well as a special anniversary book with the history of the university.
