On February 7, a particularly significant friendly meeting took place with the rector of the KIU Asiya Timiryasova and the Consul General of the People's Republic of China Mr. Xiang Bo, emphasizing the long and fruitful cooperation.

On the eve of the Chinese New Year, Asiya Vitalievna and Mr. Xiang Bo exchanged the warmest congratulations and wishes, summed up the results of the outgoing year, which was fruitful in matters of cooperation and development of Chinese language teaching at KIU, and also discussed plans for the next year. This was especially important, since Kazan Innovative University has a rich history of cooperation with China. The meeting was also attended by the director of the KIU Chinese Language Study Center Anastasia Kokurina and the dean of the KIU Faculty of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication Roza Valeeva.

Success in Russian-Chinese cooperation at all levels, including in the field of education, is inextricably linked with respect for the traditions and customs of the two countries. Personal meetings like this not only help to strengthen contacts, but also allow understand each other's culture and values. Such exchange of opinions, experiences and ideas promotes the development of education, science and technology, and also leads to friendship between peoples.

We hope that the new year, the year of the dragon, brings good health, flourishing and prosperity to everyone. Let it be a time of new achievements and prospects, and let Russian-Chinese cooperation be even more successful and mutually beneficial.
