In RUDN’s main building, Russian speech has mixed with Arabic and strict business suits with national attire.

The university hosted a large-scale event “The Century of Friendship, Cultural and Scientific Exchange between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Russian Federation”, which brought together diplomats, scientists, rectors of leading universities, and students.
