Peter David, Foreign Minister of Grenada visits RUDN

The main purpose of the visit is to discuss the issues of increasing and training personnel for Grenada in priority areas - medicine, engineering, oil and gas, agrarian sciences, ecology, tourism and IT at RUDN. Due to the fact that the main stream of students goes to study in Canada and the United States, the university proposed to focus on attracting students to graduate programs in English. It is noted that trade relations between Russia and Grenada are strengthening. In this regard, the training of specialists for Grenada is an important milestone in establishing cooperation.

Peter David got acquainted with the possibilities of the Center for Collective Use of RUDN, where he learnt about the technologies and the main activities of the Center. The meeting was a continuation of the development of cooperation with the Center, which was approved by the Minister of Health of Grenada during the visit of the RUDN delegation to Grenada in February.

The main result of the meeting was signing the Letter of Intent, which reflected the key agreements:

• exchange of information on strategies and programs of the parties in the field of science, education, health, technology and engineering sciences;

• training personnel for Grenada in priority areas of specialist training - engineering and natural -scientific; agrarian;  andmedical.
