His academic and professional interests span a wide range of areas, including international relations, tourism development, and economics.

Being inspired by foreign tourists when he was volunteering as a tour guide, in 2022, Adkhamjon began writing articles for international newspapers to raise awareness about Uzbekistan—a country often overlooked despite its rich history and cultural significance. Since then, his work has been published in over 70 countries, including outlets like China Daily, El Heraldo de México, and Budapest Times. Through his writing, he seeks to foster friendly international relations and cultural exchange, highlighting Uzbekistan's heritage, reforms, and global potential. Moreover, Adkhamjon wants to keep writing for foreign media outlets and reach 100 countries.

Adkhamjon Janobiddinov speaks Uzbek, English, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, which allows him to engage with diverse communities across continents. His ability to connect across cultures is also reflected in the recognition he has received for his work. He won first place in the Goi Peace International Essay Contest, organized by the Japanese Ministry of Youth and Sports, placing first among participants from 154 countries. He was also selected as one of the top 100 students to attend the South American Business Forum in Argentina. Additionally, he received letters of appreciation from President Emmanuel Macron for his contributions to France-Uzbekistan relations and from the Indonesian Youth Foundation for his role in promoting bilateral ties.

In 2023, Adkhamjon Janobiddinov launched an educational initiative called the United Academy Group, aimed at supporting Uzbek students in their academic and professional development. So far, more than 100 students have benefited from its services—including college application guidance, internship placement support, and help in building academic portfolios. The group works in collaboration with various organizations, universities, and professionals to offer its services free of charge. Adkhamjon is currently expanding this project, making it more accessible to students across the country. The new project of UAG focuses on master’s students, keeping them aware of the latest scholarship opportunities and giving them guidance at no cost.

Adkhamjon is also behind a growing tourism-focused initiative to make Uzbekistan more accessible and attractive to international travelers. His online platforms, which have collectively reached over 40,000 followers, assist thousands of tourists each month by answering travel-related questions, providing visa information, and connecting visitors with local experiences. The project also empowers local communities by promoting their products and services to a global audience—helping create a bridge between cultures through travel.

He continues to share insights about Uzbekistan through social media, volunteering, and research, with the long-term goal of writing a book about his country’s untapped tourism potential. Through these efforts, he provides free assistance to those interested in visiting Uzbekistan, combining hospitality with reliable, locally rooted knowledge.

As a contributor to Meer Journal, Adkhamjon aims to share lesser-known stories about Uzbekistan’s culture, economy, and international affairs. His articles are intended to spark curiosity, build bridges across cultures, and enrich the magazine’s content through personal insights and well-researched writing. Writing for Meer also allows him to further develop his skills in editing, research, and cross-cultural communication.

In the near future, Adkhamjon plans to pursue his PhD studies in economics with a focus on international trade and relations. After gaining some hands-on experience, he also aims to found his own media outlet and think tank to further study Uzbekistan and the Central Asian region.
