Moscow, March 18 /Xinhua/ — The China-Russia Dialogue on Economics and Education, organized by Renmin University of China and the Free Economic Society (VEO) of Russia, took place in Moscow on Tuesday.
As Renmin University of China Party Committee Secretary Zhang Donggang stated in his speech, education and talent are the foundation for promoting high-quality economic development. He stated that Renmin University of China will seize the opportunity presented by the China-Russia Cross Years of Education (2026-2027) to deepen educational cooperation between the two countries, strengthen collaboration in scientific research, and, together with leading Russian universities, inject new impetus into the development of the bilateral economic partnership. Zhang Donggang also called for strengthening mutual understanding and trust through educational dialogue to shape a new architecture for Sino-Russian educational cooperation.
Sergey Bodrunov, President of the Russian VEO, noted that developing economic ties is a priority area of cooperation between Russia and China. He emphasized that Russia has recently seen growing interest in Chinese culture, as well as China's achievements in the economy and other areas. The VEO intends to more actively introduce Russian audiences to the works of Chinese researchers to better understand the processes taking place in China, including the experience of Chinese modernization. According to Sergey Bodrunov, Chinese modernization serves as an example of successful economic and social transformation, as well as the comprehensive transformation being implemented in China.
State Duma Deputy and First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Education and Science Oleg Smolin noted that the number of high school students in Russia studying Chinese is growing. More and more students are choosing it as their first or second foreign language, and the number of Russian students studying at universities in China is also growing. The deputy is confident that, given the rapid development of technology, maintaining a balance is especially important: he believes that the natural intelligence of young people should never be inferior to artificial intelligence.
