Shafinskaya, Acting Director of the Russian Cultural Centre in Vietnam.
The tour is the sixth phase of the “Russian universities” project, which aims to introduce Russian universities to Vietnamese students who wish to study in Russia, Shafinskaya said in a press conference on September 30.
The Russian official said the project, which was agreed by the two Governments, is in line with a Russian Government policy of increasing the number of scholarships for Vietnam to 1,000 in 2018.
The project, commenced from March 2014, has brought 30 representatives from management boards of Russian universities to Vietnam.
As a result, a number of memoranda of understanding of cooperation between the two sides have been signed, including those to exchange students and lecturers, improve the capacity for schools’ staff, and carry out joint scientific researches.
Currently, around 5,000 Vietnamese students are studying at universities in Russia.-VNA
