Guangzhou: The Final Stop on MGIMO’s China Tour! 🇷🇺🇨🇳 On 30-31 October, the MGIMO delegation wrapped up its visit to China in one of the country’s most dynamic and futuristic cities — Guangzhou. ⚡️The final day brought together several key events: the International School Olympiad, a presentation of MGIMO for prospective students, a lecture for university students and a meeting with potential academic partners. ✒️ Over 50 students from the Experimental School of Foreign Languages in Guangzhou took part in the MGIMO International School Olympiad. Anna Chernova, Third Secretary of the Consulate General of Russia in Guangzhou, welcomed the participants, shared some useful advice and wished them every success in the competition. ➡️Over 120 Chinese school students took part, testing their knowledge of English and international relations and competing for the opportunity to study at MGIMO tuition-free. 📚 The programme continued with MGIMO Day, giving schoolchildren a closer look at university life and the opportunities available to them in Russia. The programme featured: ✔Elizaveta Rudenko, Head of MGIMO’s International Marketing, who introduced the students to the university and its academic programmes; ✔Arina Khabieva, a third-year student at the School of International Economic Relations, who hosted an interactive quiz on Russian-Chinese relations in Chinese; ✔Boris Brednikov, a third-year student at the Institute of International Trade and Sustainable Development, who delivered a lecture on the Russian-Chinese partnership in today’s world.

This brought MGIMO’s China tour to a close. The visit formed part of the university’s broader efforts to strengthen Russian-Chinese educational cooperation during the Cross Years of Education between Russia and China. The tour covered six cities and Olympiad events, four MGIMO Days, and visits to four schools and three universities. Over 1,000 schoolchildren, students, academics and other guests took part in the events! Every meeting brought new connections, every lecture sparked interest in Russia, and every conversation opened up opportunities for future cooperation. Most importantly, hundreds of young people now know MGIMO a little better — and some may one day become part of our university community ❤️ MGIMO would like to thank the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Guangzhou, the leadership and staff of the Experimental School of Foreign Languages in Guangzhou and Guangdong University of Foreign Studies for their assistance in organising the events and for their warm welcome.

He noted that a university education helps build lasting professional and personal connections that complement relations between states. 🔵Epaphras Denga Ndaitwah recalled studying in the Soviet Union in 1977 and proposed closer cooperation between Russian and Namibian universities. As one promising avenue, he suggested that students in Moscow and Windhoek work together on practical challenges in water supply, energy, healthcare and agriculture. 🔵Leonid Slutsky focused on the responsibility the younger generation will bear for the development of their countries, stressing that the forum’s participants will go on to hold leading positions in politics, public administration and business. ⭐ During the forum, Azali Assoumani received an honorary doctorate from MGIMO, conferred by the university’s Academic Council in recognition of his efforts to strengthen dialogue between Russia and African countries. 👥 The key outcome of the forum was the establishment of the Russian-African Youth Union, which will become part of the secretariat of the Russia–Africa Partnership Forum under the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Eighteen organizations from the Gambia, Mali, Mozambique, South Sudan, Rwanda and other countries have confirmed their membership, and the union remains open to new members. 📎 Beyond the plenary session, the forum’s program spanned several interconnected tracks: economy and entrepreneurship, expert dialogue, politics and security, education and people-to-people ties, and cultural exchange. 💙 Special attention was given to the everyday experience of African students at Russian universities.
