Derzhavin University 3rd-year students Boushek Laetitia, majoring in Dentistry (Algeria), and Sulemane Ibrahima Faaizah, majoring in General Medicine (Togo), are participants of the International Forum "Russia - Africa: What's Next?", which was held at MGIMO of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
This is a platform for dialogue between the youth of Russia and the countries of the African continent. The forum is aimed at strengthening humanitarian cooperation, developing academic and cultural exchanges, and creating conditions for building a long-term partnership between the countries.
The event brought together students, young professionals, representatives of science, education, business, and diplomatic circles. The forum discussed key areas of interaction between Russia and Africa, opportunities for joint projects, as well as the challenges and prospects of international youth cooperation. The forum program included lectures by leading experts, panel discussions, master classes and cultural events aimed at developing mutual understanding and cooperation between the youth of the two countries.
The participation of Derzhavin University students in the forum is the evidence of the high quality of training of future specialists and the active development of the University's international relations.
- At one of the sessions, I met Buony Lam, an employee of the Ethiopian Embassy. This meeting was very important for me, - shares her impressions Bushek Laetitia. - Having learned about the international activities of Derzhavin University, especially about work with African students, he expressed interest in further cooperation. And this opens up new opportunities for us. I gave him a badge with the logo of our university. It was very inspiring!
