Olympics in Vietnam continue
February 25 and 26 will be the Olympiad in Russian for students and March 1, 2 and 4 in mathematics for schoolchildren. Also, the delegation of the RUDN, within the framework of the visit, expects to hold meetings with the leadership of specialized schools and universities of Vietnam specializing in teaching the Russian language, and with the leadership and pedagogical staff of the Secondary School attached to the Russian Embassy in Vietnam.
The number of foreign ambassadors of Russian education and science has reached 47. In October 2026, 12 more teachers, scientists, and public figures received this honorary status - from Brazil, Israel, Kazakhstan, Cameroon, China, Lebanon, Moldova, Mongolia, Nigeria, Peru, Syria, and the Central African Republic. Five of them studied at Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.
Last week, RUDN University welcomed a delegation led by Gao Song, President of Peking University. The visit marked his first international trip since assuming office as the rector of the university, which ranks 13th globally.
In RUDN’s main building, Russian speech has mixed with Arabic and strict business suits with national attire. The reason for this is the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 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.
