On 9 October 2026, Lincoln University College (LUC), Malaysia, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bukhara State University, Uzbekistan. The signing took place at the School of Education on the final day of the International Academic Exchange & Professional Development Programme, held from 7–9 October 2026 under the theme “Knowledge Beyond Borders, People for a Better Tomorrow.”
The agreement followed three days of academic engagement between LUC and academics from Urgench State University, Bukhara State University, and Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute.
