A video became popular on social media showing the boy heading to school despite nearly a meter of snow. The President saw this clip and was impressed by the child's determination to study despite the challenging weather conditions.
During the meeting, the President invited Nurzaman to the New Year's tree and personally presented him with gifts, including his mobile phone.
The head of state noted that Nurzaman reminded him of his own childhood when he also faced difficulties on his way to school in his native village of Ken-Suu.
At the end of the meeting, Sadyr Japarov wished the young student great success in his studies.
