during this time, the country and our relations with it are cooperation, assistance or something else , the main sign of the times in afghanistan , the most difficult economic. the czech situation of devastation went to you from a puppet government that fled with the troops. and then, when the taliban took power completely, in fact they were financially against the country , thanks to the americans for their flight from afghanistan, where they kept military bases for them. it was a shameful and painful defeat. now many afghans do not have money for food almost no one to buy firewood to cook their own dinner. you know how hot it got in the kobul. there is a television dish on the roof. she hasn't been working for a long time. it is covered with mirror fragments. and there, where the sun's rays come down on a hook, lies a teapot. unlike westerners , we are working in afghanistan with the power

that exists, because we want it to be capable and able to prevent destabilization of the internal situation. vacuum, power. chaos. it is dangerous for the whole region, we helped and now we are helping. you have a lot degree by the fact that for free we train doctors, engineers, teachers, specialists, russians crushed, so the afghans called our center of science of culture, this is their city mecca for those who dream of getting a ticket in life , they get it by stopping kabul on the street of anyone, it turns out that either he or someone some of his relatives studied in our country. like, for example, a pilot with ours with our diploma, who heads one of the afghan companies for centuries, and in the end they appreciate it when foreigners see it on the street and find out that he shows from russia like this. this is the basis for our cooperation with afghanistan, and it

should be mutually beneficial leases. this is the main thing. our business is still testing those islamic financial norms that the taliban are implementing, but they are not marking time, just a few days ago a memorandum was signed in the construction of a thermal power plant in northern afghanistan . to pakistan and india, as before, they qualitatively ensured the construction of the turkmen section, possibly russian participation in the modernization, then she is a sketcher. he can no longer cope with that increased flow. here is the motor transport that is now available and at the same time the soviet era continued to serve as the road of life for this country. in general, cooperation is a question of what are the priorities of the civilian side itself. in what the authorities and the armenian business will be ready to invest in the first place, afghanistan

would like russia to be its guarantor. energy and food security here's what it might look like in practice, what will we get in exchange for contracts in return, money is everything here, it’s just that we are already increasing the supply of fuel, as well as food, the volume of trade between our countries has grown by 40% over the year. and there's no need to stop in afghanistan. severe did the afghan authorities turn to russia for additional assistance last year? russia delivered large consignments of humanitarian cargo to afghanistan. they were designed for the fact that winter is ahead , such a winter that in afghan acids children are put to sleep on the tandoor when it cools down a little after the teacher. thanks to this help energy supplies, we managed to mitigate

the effects of cold weather on the population in may , our group of engineers flew to kabul. here they conducted a detailed survey of heating systems and boiler houses built in the soviet era, literally climbed everything that was possible in our specialists' overalls soiled with fuel oil, then prepared a project on how to modernize these housing and communal services systems, taking into account the characteristics of the heating season, as if there were no requests for humanitarian assistance now . it seems to me that they either do not want to be considered dependents, like the regime which they drove out a year and a half ago, yes, or the afghans generally have a trait, no matter how difficult it is to stand with an outstretched hand . you know. soviet films are very much loved here, and i noticed that i choose from them some phrases that are significant for myself, remember. from the cult only old people go into battle, we will live. guys, just like that, the afghans

will have nothing to lose, but faith in the future, and most importantly, their own dignity. they keep it anyway, so the catholic authorities allocated almost 170,000 dollars to the victims of the earthquake in turkey and syria a. also they offered to send their uh medical search and rescue teams there, and the staff of the afghan embassy in dushanbe on their salaries. believe me, the meager ones bought for those who were left homeless two hundred in sleeping bags, what is called the last shirt, they say that they are working on the issue of women's rights, the head of the afghan foreign ministry promised to listen to russia's advice well, if they listen, because not russian society is not islamic the world does not perceive you distortions that would allow agents on the sphere to limit girls in school and women in work.

saudi arabia, for example, recently withdrew its diplomats from kabul after the taliban forbade afghan women who were employed in the saudi embassy from going to work on february 6 to discuss women's issues with the taliban in kabla, a qatari special message flew in yes afghanistan is a heterogeneous country is afghanistan kishlak archaic, where, so to speak, there is no time for female emancipation, so to speak, although i can’t speak for everyone, but in the cities the situation is clamped down. almost half of the population does not perceive. here he is an example of non-politics, and from a simple courtyard life and school, several girls return to school, 10-11 years old each until the sixth grade for girls. school they work poorly, but they are nicely dressed, they hurry home to eat, but first they run into the bookstore to allah to look through books for money. no, but something new. by the way, this is a swallow right there, or kalashnikov machine guns turned around on their pkk and

look over their shoulder into the same books , they are also interested, and i went for a walk around the city back streets, it’s famous, you can’t cover the sun with your hand, you know, you know, such an artistic criticism of the authorities in the oriental style. so not everything is lost , the topic wears away the stone, as now in afghanistan, with the drug industry, your question would be answered. don't worry. everything is fine. westerners have well debugged this industry during the occupation. you are going to afghanistan. on which under the bridges a bunch of drug addicts are driven or caught to be sent for treatment, and those from boris are hiding, you know where into the sewer from like this you go in the car and look. on the road , a sunroof suddenly rises from there , a head sticks out and looks around not near the police. this

a drug addict almost everywhere sells pills with wheels, the demand for them is large and among the disabled and widows of war they promised to fight drug addiction, and at the very least they try to do something in april they officially banned the drug industry in the same kabul opened a hospital for 5,000 people declarations are big ambitious, but realistic lines still resorting to the authorities of the volume of the afghan drug industry, reached 40% of the economy 40%, but then to afghanistan or anywhere else money that could be spent on something useful. the truth is gone, they are not at all to replace the opera magician with normal agriculture for the cultivation, drug crops, 5-6 million people have sat down here, and they want to eat more than we do. how to compensate them for the destruction of energy forces. now the big question. the problem is that the country is subject to western sanctions, its assets in western banks

are blocked in the us, in fact, they are pushing afghanistan even harder. afghanistan pakistan uzbekistan are working on plans to build a trans-afghan railway. what stage is this project at? does it participate in it to russia and how important it is in general, such a transport corridor, an interesting idea, it would turn out to be independent, the transport artery, south at the end of the year, the uzbeks conducted an initial inspection of certain sections of the routes. now we need to prepare an economic feasibility study using technology, which , of course, also takes into account the considerable risks in the field of security. this is a difficult, very serious stage, and our specialists are in the working group. here russian railways asked them to help with engineering expertise. here is such an experience as our country has, especially in the most inaccessible mountainous regions. no, no one else. well, take at least the same one, there is a cut through at

a height of 4.200. uh, as for the practical prospects for the construction of the railway itself, our participation in these works, it will depend on the conclusions that the experts will draw, if the decision is positive, we have both rails and sleepers and locomotives and technologies. so it will be more than in january, or they signed a contract with china for oil production in northern afghanistan, he is 10 years old, then the development of the amudar basin from the chinese is not so went and the former republican authorities of afghanistan recalled them impossible. now the contract has been broken through, just to have some real plans behind it, we'll see. of course, we would actively welcome the contribution of any country, including friendly sciences, to the upswing of the afghan economy. this word is for the benefit of both

the afghan people and the entire region. the presence of the prc in afghanistan. do we have common economic projects in this country in china? in december, beijing called on chinese citizens to leave afghanistan and for the attacks. the most famous and also an old chinese purchase. there is a large copper deposit here, the ainak is a sub-kabul and things are not going with him yet, although there was a lot of talk around the bush. on the other hand , we have entered into a joint economic project with iran and pakistan; it is connected with the development of the afghan coal-fired thermal power industry. i wish the author of this important person good luck not to close their social programs in afghanistan despite western sanctions. do these programs work, or after the change

of power, the westerners left afghanistan alone with their problems to work? kagul regularly and in some detail discuss this topic by the special representatives of the secretary general. he, who heads the mission here for action, but again, the condition of western sanctions to work, it is difficult for bank transfers to work in this direction. with its behavior , the united states frankly demonstrates that it comes from the westerners who fled afghanistan. and this is approximately the current shaper. there is no need to wait for help in afghanistan, and the americans. it is not the taliban who are actually being punished. they are punishing the afghan people. in september the banned islamic state group carried out a terrorist attack near the russian embassy. taliban in kabul. they promised that this would not happen again. this is how

security is in afghanistan right now. both, without exaggeration, were real heroes indicated by the president of russia. they were posthumously awarded cardinality. the tragedy happened 5 months ago. since then, the terrorists have poured in, unfortunately, the terrorists have attacked the apartment even more inflated. in december, the ministry of internal affairs almost shot the pakistani ambassador , they fired a whole machine-gun belt at him and diplomats closed their business to the guards, then the militants seized the hotel. in the center of the city , they were knocked out of there for half a day. january , the entrances to the airport were undermined. and also in the government quarter is a lot different. this is only kabul and only the biggest terrorist attacks throughout the country attacking

school mosques on roadblocks on the bus is not a good situation. frankly, you know it begs the analogy of tarkovsky's stalker the shortest road in afghanistan is not always the safest. this, of course, affects the work diplomatic corps, but we knew where we were going and are working in the conditions that we have. yes, or they are trying to fight terrorism. this is not an empty promise when you drive around the city almost everywhere at every intersection. you see, the taliban are in camouflage , losing weapons on the roads from a pikapychanka, but by and large, the authorities only manage to hit the tails to respond to the terrorist attacks that have already occurred. although at first, when the united states had not yet laid eyes on those gold foreign exchange reserves that belong to afghanistan, the resources that squeeze well. and at first, it

would really start to dry out. terrorism in afghanistan will not be defeated until the economy and social sphere are bad, while the united states, on the contrary, is only doing worse. for what purpose, to help terrorists to actively recruit into their ranks? there is generally a message that the us secretly supports afghan terrorist cells, establish contacts with opponents of the taliban authorities, it turns out that the americans never left, afghanistan has enough agents. some americans work, they take advantage of the fact that the ghanaian the population is in poverty and it is easy to take into account those who are ready to serve at school, whoever they want unfastened the services of suicide bombers, they are also cheap in the armenian bazaar. this is true, but these are still pathological deviations from what

the afghan people as a whole lives on. what does he understand among the people? there is such a joke here, it appeared after the americans fled from afghanistan after the us stole money from afghan bank accounts. there, by the way, there were about ten billion dollars, and then when they themselves got something from mushrooms were needed. they began to throw some handouts, well, usually american blackmail is like that. this means that an american is walking down the street in kabul. whether he sees a beggar throwing a hamburger at him, on the way back, the poor man was on the lookout for the americans and they handed him a book learning to cook deliciously. well, and those who later about the americans say that blood cannot be washed away even with blood. it's about two decades of occupation of the country forces the names of nato betacan people, she brought a lot of russian afghanistan

to the joint activities this year. well , for example, meetings at the official level deficit with the political dialogue we have people. no, this is our main function here , such work at the embassy is ongoing . bilaterally, the year began with a visit to kabul by the special representative of the president of the russian federation for afghanistan, which was a major event. i think there will be some other contacts. and in the afghan ministry of health , for example, we were told that the heads of this department are hatching ideas for a trip to russia . medicine in afghanistan is weak and russian companies are already working on what can be done here for a relatively small malt, for example, to deploy a network of modern medical laboratory complexes for the population in large cities on february 8, consultations were held in moscow by secretaries of security and a family of books on national security with

the participation of russia and india and early and kazakhstan kyrgyzstan china and tajikistan turkmenistan and uzbekistan are also planned this year other multilateral activities on afghans. the participation of the taliban, unfortunately , makes it difficult for them to make miscalculations in domestic politics, these excesses are perceived with misunderstanding even by those countries regions that are customized. in general , the bar with international recognition can only be imagined there. thank you very much dmitry aleksandrovich thank you now for an urgent message, which arrives for eight minutes on the tapes of news agencies , the message of the ria novosti news agency, the court sentenced the former governor of the khabarovsk territory to 22 years in prison. e sergei furgala in the case of organizing murders hmm in addition, the defendant did the furgala

businessman andrey paly received 17 years in prison in the case of the murders of competitors this is reported by the tass agency, another important message marked with lightning. the body of another russian was found in hatai, presumably this is the husband and father of the previously found women and a child , ria novosti reports with reference to the ministry of emergency situations and, another message regarding the earthquake, the syrian government announced the district of the northwestern provinces. e with disaster areas. you are closely following the incoming information as soon as new details appear, and we will definitely return to these topics. well now let's continue to discuss the work of russian diplomats and, uh, now my colleague kozlov will ask questions to the rector of mgimo anatoly trunova daria greetings, i give you the floor. all the same , the news was lightning. now you can

start. good afternoon, i'm here at work. we meet in an institution where they train and educate in modern russian diplomats. and, of course, now we have the opportunity to talk live with the rector of mgimo, an honored worker of the diplomatic service, an honored worker of the diplomatic service. anatolia tarkunova anatoly vasilyevich hello anatoly vasilyevich, on the eve of the day of the diplomatic worker, my colleagues and i talked a lot with our diplomats who are now working abroad. and even very experienced employees admit that it has indeed become much more difficult to work in recent years, in connection with this the question for you is whether it is now necessary to somehow adapt the system for training russian diplomats. and whether it is necessary to change it radically in the coming years, which are necessary

, they were formulated, formatted very long time i do not persist, of course, should represent well. history is a sign of political science to know that all this remains right. this is a huge reservoir of knowledge , and at the same time, of course, modern conditions dictate the need to acquire knowledge completely, seemingly unexpectedly for diplomats. eh, authorities, such as biology, for example, or rural, that is, since diplomats today have to decide about physics, there are a lot of problems that, well, they seem to solve in the framework of classical diplomacy. that is, today a diplomat should be a lot lathe. and uh, that's why our programs. well, almost every two years seriously change. this does not mean that we eliminate, that is, scrap, which is also generally impossible. today we opened an exhibition dedicated to

alexander nevsky and the patrons of russian diplomacy. and of course, without knowledge of the history of russia, world history. a diplomat is simple, but will not be able to work with his interlocutors to conduct fees. all conversations and analyze e situation including the current situation, but at the same time new knowledge. it's generally this butts are right, uh, diplomats, of course , is necessary, so today we are creating network structures. there miracles are institutes of the academy of sciences with advanced technical universities such as everywhere else and others. in order for our preparation to include elements of knowledge from these areas , moreover, today we must accept students at the faculty of international relations who pass the profile not in all, but in one language, since they will not be dealing with big data and it is necessary that the level no knowledge in the field of mathematics for schoolchildren was

high enough. yes, on the contrary, on a level with good. so, of course, diplomats today are somewhat different from the diplomat of the old school. it's endlessly learning who god is to imagine that i would have to, as a rector to get to know people with the features of the agro-industrial complex, as we prepare tatashe. i had to read something and learn something new for myself so that at least the audience does not look like an amateur and a literate person. in terms of geographical terms, the turn of russian policy to the east and south is noticeable in connection with this remarkable. you have increased the interests of applicants and students. uh, how the languages ​​of asia and especially africa are flying africa now occupies far from the last both here and in our branch of vedentsov. uh, since a number of people are asking, more and more people are asking now and we had the kazakh language before that, but the kazakh language, uh, will appear

this year and there will be a whole large group of guys who will deal with problems in central asian countries. moreover , there are not only languages ​​​​of the complex, and we are very actively preparing for the second forum yourself. you are afrik who will be in st . we have already held two russian africa youth forums here with the active participation of africans and those who study here, but delegations came from abroad and we will continue to consider issues and treatment of the number of african languages ​​that are taught at our university. so like the rest of the country we go through today serious transformations, bearing in mind the geopolitical situation and in general the real needs of our foreign policy today , have already begun to talk about central asia really. she agenda emerges in

recent years, the two are increasingly running. in this direction, mgimo opened russian international schools in bishkek as part of the priority 23 program. what are the future plans, are there plans to expand? these are programs, of course there are. well first, we continue to introduce work on the creation of joint programs in the network in x universities in tajikistan and, uh, in kyrgyzstan, and we are talking with our turkmen colleagues. on this point, i frankly, uh, i think that, of course, the branch network is great. but before opening a full-fledged branch, it is better to follow the path of creating network programs, when the guys study within the framework of our single approved program both here and in moscow . you not only have a bunch of them in tashkent, but they also spend the semester here in the gem. this is very important and, uh, i'm sure that in the coming years we will sing such

new programs, almost all of the central asian countries. now moscow's kazakh colleagues are talking on this subject. well, i will not get ahead of myself, but for us this is one of the priorities on the topic. the institutes began to work in terms of scientific activity of international student exchanges after such an introduction of an unprecedented number of sanctions. well , of course, complexity. sanctions there were almost 40 joint master's programs with european countries. uh, these programs don't work today. although the exchange is preserved because colleagues. eh, including in european countries, they are interested in maintaining contacts, they are under pressure, i must say, at the relevant government level, but they remain interested, so our guys still travel. uh, we accept partner universities here, but not within the framework of joint

masters. they are suspended somehow for some time, but at the same time we are actively developing exchanges from the country with china with india and i up to their number of foreign students. we have practically not reduced. well just a little decreased, but i think that this year we are catching up in terms of the number of foreign students usually accounted for 15-17%, this is the total number. e students. the university will keep this figure, but we need to work on it, this should be an interest. and for this it is necessary e to offer new programs a new course. uh, new fresh ideas and that's why we are inviting specialists today active for the academy of sciences and from other cities. e. sometimes even as they say, we offer good conditions in order to move and work. uh, at our university let colleagues

from other universities forgive. so this is, well, a natural process, in fact , there is always such an exchange of personnel in the university environment, and i hope that our young members of the electorate. today we have young projects as indicators. eh, they actively meet in this work and everything should work out. yes, this requires, of course, a lot of effort, and indeed a lot of our diplomats and those who are responsible for training our diplomats are working. an automatic worker like yourself to colleagues of your friends i heartily congratulate you, because, as they say, all his life e has been connected with the ministry for almost the sixty-seventh year , a century has passed when the demon entered, but, uh, i would like to note that we, of course, do not, it has a powerful scientific potential. we have media headquarters abroad. today. it is 60 doctors of sciences employing almost 400 candidates and every year we accept

as an applicant here, he could not have up to 30 acting diplomats who prepare on the basis of hemo and accordingly for the dessert board. so the face of our kind we have not only professionals practitioners of major experience. well, experience is acquired, of course, by young people, maybe they don’t have it. and those who have already worked more seriously. here are but people who have the skills of analytical thinking and searches. scientific publications of articles and it seems to me that this is very important for our foreign policy department. well , i would like to join in the congratulations of the diplomatic officer, but she will remind you that we talked live with the director. yes, yes, i thank you and anatoly korkunov for the comments. i remember my colleague daria kozlova was in direct communication. in turkey, while clearing the rubble

, a rescuer of the ministry of emergency situations found a dead man and a child , presumably a member of a russian family who were looking for in hottaya. a woman with another child was found in advance according to the latest data, the number of victims of the earthquake exceeded 18,000 people, more than 74,000 people were injured in the affected area.
