Henley Business School Receives Visit from Kazakhstan Ambassador
Henley Business School recently welcomed the new Kazakhstani Ambassador to the UK. Since its inception in 1996, the Centre for Euro-Asian Studies at Henley Business School has developed a close relationship with the Kazakh Embassy in London, and this first visit to a UK institution by His Excellency Erzhan Kazykhanov was in keeping with that relationship.
During the visit, His Excellency Kazykhanov and Professor John Board, Dean of Henley Business School, discussed the similarities, differences and areas of mutual interest between the UK and Kazakhstani educational systems.
