Zhejiang University Party Committee Secretary Ren Shaobo explained that the university is among the oldest universities in China and one of the leading in the country. It employs over 9,000 staff and faculty members, and enrolls over 70,000 students. Particular attention is paid to artificial intelligence and new technologies. He noted that the university actively collaborates with Russian universities, including Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, St. Petersburg State University, and Moscow Aviation Institute. Academic exchange and educational collaboration are underway in such fields as materials science, aerospace engineering, and linguistics.
At the meeting, the parties exchanged views on the development of educational programs in artificial intelligence. Dmitry Chernyshenko also spoke with Russian students studying at the university. Master's student Anna Van shared her impressions of her studies in detail.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, at the initiative of the heads of the two states – Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping – 2026–2027 have been declared cross-years in education.
"I am confident this will allow us to focus our efforts on key inter-university cooperation projects. Today, over 56,000 Chinese students are studying at Russian universities across all modes of study. Meanwhile, we have over 20,000 students in China. Over the course of our long and productive collaboration, we have already completed numerous successful joint projects," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
Among the examples he cited were the Far Eastern Federal University's expansion of the network of Russian language centers in China based in Chinese secondary schools, the selection this year of 15 research projects in priority areas of industrial development in the two countries, and a joint project between Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Beijing Institute of Technology – MSU-PTI in Shenzhen.
Dmitry Chernyshenko conveyed proposals from Russian universities to strengthen cooperation. Among other proposals, an agreement is proposed between the Russian consortium Synergy and Zhejiang University. Furthermore, based on the experience of cooperation with Zhejiang University, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is proposed as the anchor partner on the Russian side. The Russian Deputy Prime Minister conveyed an initiative to pilot international cooperation with Kazan Federal University within the framework of the "Advanced Engineering Schools" project. He proposed including these initiatives on the agenda of the next meeting of the subcommittee on scientific and technical cooperation of the Russian-Chinese commission for the preparation of regular meetings between the heads of government – Mikhail Mishustin and Li Qiang.
"The scientific and technological agenda is one of the key global priorities. The leaders of our countries have placed a high priority on maintaining technological leadership in all areas, including the economy, so it is essential to establish links between our leading higher education centers. The effectiveness of such cooperation will depend on how quickly and openly we act. I thank the university's leadership for their time and open dialogue. I am confident in our effective collaboration," concluded Dmitry Chernyshenko.
In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia added that a delegation from Sberbank PJSC will soon arrive at Zhejiang University.
