On June 14, 2025, the Business Diplomat Delegation from Uzbekistan took part in a landmark event — the Business Diplomat Exchange: Uzbekistan–Australia Business Forum, hosted at the prestigious University of Sydney.
A major highlight of the forum was a powerful masterclass titled “Global Leader, Global Citizen”, co-delivered by Mr. Daniel Assaf, Secretary-General of the Ethnic Business Awards, and Mr. Mirshod Shakirov, founder of the Business Diplomat initiative and chair of the Business Diplomat International Guild.
The session provided deep insights into the evolving role of leadership in a globally connected world — emphasizing cultural intelligence, ethical entrepreneurship, and cross-border cooperation. Mr. Assaf, a leading voice in Australia’s multicultural business landscape, shared valuable experiences on empowering ethnic entrepreneurs and building inclusive economies.
Held within the historic venue of the University of Sydney, the forum served as a unique platform for dialogue between Australian institutions and the rising generation of Uzbek business leaders. For the visiting delegation, it was an opportunity to gain real-world insights into Australian business values, explore new collaborations, and connect with global thought leaders.
This event also marked a new chapter for the Business Diplomat International Guild, which continues to unite globally minded entrepreneurs and professionals committed to diplomacy, innovation, and ethical leadership.
For the Uzbekistan delegation, the forum was not only an educational experience — it was a gateway to global opportunities and a symbol of the growing partnership between the two nations.
