Moscow, November 22 (Xinhua) — Russia intends to strengthen cooperation with China in education, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Konstantin Mogilevsky stated in an interview with Xinhua.
"We will, of course, continue and strengthen our collaboration in key areas of cooperation. This includes student exchanges and the creation of dual degree programs between our universities," he said.
According to K. Mogilevsky, cooperation between Russia and China in education is developing very dynamically. According to the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education, 56,000 Chinese students are studying in Russia. Tens of thousands of Russian students are studying at Chinese universities. "And the number of academic exchanges continues to grow," he added.
An agency source called the Moscow State University-Beijing Institute of Technology (MSU-BIT) in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, southern China, a "flagship of bilateral educational cooperation." This university is the first jointly established university by China and Russia.
K. Mogilevsky noted that more than 30 educational programs are already being successfully implemented at Chinese and Russian universities, and new ones are being created. In early November, he participated in the opening ceremony of a joint institute in China between Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) and Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, which will train specialists in information technology and communications.
"We will continue to open joint educational institutions at existing universities. Today, we discussed the creation of joint laboratories. We are committed to making our educational cooperation truly comprehensive, so that it reflects the nature of our comprehensive strategic partnership between our countries," the Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation assured.
K. Mogilevsky also emphasized that the Russian ministry maintains ongoing contact with the Chinese Ministry of Education. "We meet regularly and are in constant contact with our Chinese colleagues. The issues we discuss are related to the growth of our relations and the launch of new projects. The nature of our relations, the guidelines set by our countries' leaders and the prime ministers of our governments, allow us to cooperate in a truly constructive spirit," he stated, adding that there are no barriers that would hinder the development of bilateral cooperation, particularly within the framework of the upcoming Russia-China Cross-Years of Education, which will be held in 2026-2027.
“The goal of this entire cooperation is to strengthen humanitarian ties, connections between people, the exchange of knowledge and technology, and to confidently move forward along the path of development,” concluded the Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. –0–
