In addition, on September 7-8, Kazan will host the Russia-China Forum (ROSTKI), where KFU will also be represented. We will hold the Russian-Chinese Youth Festival within the framework of this forum, and we are also organizing two large sections devoted to education. Beijing Boya International Education Company, with whom we met, is an organization that assists Chinese universities to reach out to foreign partners. This meeting was one of the steps towards the development of Russian-Chinese cooperation and, in particular, cooperation between Kazan Federal University and Chinese partners,” commented the Vice-Rector.
