The Governor answered, “There is demand in China for scientific and technological advancements. We are ready to cooperate in education, and especially in applications for scientific research.“

In his interview to our Media Center, Governor Wang also said,
“There are big prospects to widen cooperation between China and Kazan University. There are now nearly a thousand Chinese students here. I think the number will grow in the future. This growth will be a good foundation for the strengthening of traditional friendship between China and Russia; young people and the future of our countries. Kazan University will be especially attractive to Chinese students in its priority development areas.”
