On February 11, 2020 at the Faculty of Oriental Studies Ablai Khan KazUIR&WL was held successfully meeting with the head of the representative office of the MYUFG Bank in Almaty, Mr. Yoshihiro Utsumi. Mr. Yoshihiro Utsumi is respected guest at our faculty and that meeting with students was not the first time. This time, the format of the meeting “Speech - Question” was prepared. Students prepared small presentations and questions in Japanese. Problems were raised on a variety of topics, from the characteristics of business etiquette in Japanese companies to the differences in the mentality of Japanese and Kazakhstani people. Students were especially interested in job opportunities in Japan. Mr. Yoshihiro Utsumi kindly told about the selection criteria for foreign specialists and patiently answered a wide variety of questions. We hope that such meetings are served as a good motivation for students to deepen their knowledge of the Japanese language and culture.
