Educational collaborations, cultural exchanges forge stronger Sino-Russian ties

China and Russia have taken significant steps to strengthen educational collaboration and cultural exchange in recent years, highlighted by a series of agreements between higher education institutions in both countries and closer ties in language learning.

In April, China's Minister of Education Huai Jinpeng led a delegation to Russia, and agreements were signed between Chinese and Russian universities aimed at improving practical collaboration in education, especially in basic sciences.

Education authorities of both countries signed agreements covering joint talent cultivation, scientific research, vocational training and digital education, Huai said.
