«Young professionals create a new stable world. Our unity must be strengthened, and Panama will help you in this. Remember that now you have a friend-president» - Juan Carlos Varela, President of the Republic of Panama
The President of the Republic of Panama visited Peoples' Friendship University of Russia for the first time. At the meeting with the students, the president noted that there is much in common between Panama and RUDN: «The Republic of Panama is a state that is responsible for the stability and friendship of states in our region. RUDN is a university that is created to unite peoples for common good purposes. We understand that the main thing is peace and prosperity.»
Mr. Varela noted the need to strengthen cooperation with RUDN through opening Russian Language Centers, specialized classes, as well as scientific and academic cooperation in a number of directions, first of all, medical and engineering. The President especially stressed that Russian students who learn Spanish can come to Panama to join multinational companies with teams of professionals from all over the world.
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.
RUDN University delegation, led by the university's president Vladimir Filippov, paid an important official visit to China. The central events of the business visit were signing of a memorandum on the establishment of an International Scientific Center for Mathematics within the framework of the SCO University and awarding the title of Honorary Professor of Xi'an Jiaotong University to Vladimir Filippov. RUDN University also presented its educational potential at a world-class University Forum and a specialized exhibition.
From April 16 to 19, Casablanca hosted one of the largest international education exhibitions, where over 200 educational institutions from 40 countries presented their academic opportunities to young people from Morocco and other African countries.
