September 22–23, RUDN delegation represented the university at the International Exhibition and Fair “Russian Education.

The exhibition was opened by Pavel Shevtsov, Deputy Head of Rossotrudnichestvo:

“First of all, I want to thank the leadership of Uzbekistan for the opportunity to hold this exhibition. I consider this a good contribution to the development of bilateral relations between our states. I would like to say special words of gratitude to the academics of all our Russian universities who are working at the exhibition these days. You perfectly demonstrate the widest range of Russian education, attracting Uzbek youth to study in Russia. We see how interested high school students are in Russian universities, I hope that there will be even more students from this warm and sunny republic in Russia,” Pavel Shevtsov, Deputy Head of Rossotrudnichestvo.

“Cooperation between Russia and Uzbekistan in the field of education has a long history. Russian higher education opens doors and provides many opportunities. Currently, more than 57,000 Uzbek students are studying at Russian universities, and their number may increase. The Government of the Russian Federation has significantly increased the number of state-funded places for applicants from Uzbekistan,” said Oleg Malginov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Uzbekistan in a welcoming speech.
