in addition, there are eight sub -regional integration associations in africa, and in some of them they are already starting to talk about the common currency, and in this regard, our eurasian union has someone to learn from. how to create this single currency, how to negotiate, so we must honestly admit that our cooperation also has an element of two-way traffic. a lot of things can be discussed, but, unfortunately, we are already finishing the interview. thank you very much for the interview, but i hope for further development of cooperation and there is still an invitation

really a lot to discuss and not only on the african track, we talked live with alexander the president of the russian federation of entrepreneurs, but we are summing up the results of the first working day of the economic and humanitarian forum about russia here in st. grain will be sent to those most in need free of charge vladimir putin spoke about this today at the russia africa forum the president spoke at the plenary session he held a number of bilateral meetings. i also talked with the heads of african organizations in the format of a working breakfast, all key events and statements by anastasia efimova nast how is the first day of the forum going and what topics are raised by its participants? hello, but in short, the first day in the form is very eventful. a solid self-explanatory list of guests of the working breakfast

held in st. petersburg by the russian president at a round table of the heads of state currently chairing the main regional organizations in africa russia as reminded vladimir putin is very actively involved in the integration projects in the eurasian space, of which the eurasian economic union is perhaps the key, and also very promising in terms of cooperation with the african union and other structures of the continent. we considered it important to discuss the prospects for cooperation between the eurasian union and african integration structures and , first of all, with the african union, within which similar processes and a consciously african continental zone are developing. free trade among regional organizations, it is the african union that is the main partner of russia and we support the multifaceted activities of this structure to

ensure peace and stability expansion of political and economic integration we believe that the creation of a new permanent dialogue mechanism for consultations on such urgent topics as the fight against terrorism and extremism, provision, food information and environmental safety. the african union is 55 participating countries and the topic is really urgent for them, because, as the chairman of the commission noted, the association of musafakimakamad on the continent seems to have everything for development, both natural and human resources, but without work, not only within their own states, but also in it is difficult to achieve goals within partnerships. 60% of the lands of the planet that have not been developed today

in africa, we have a lot of water, a lot of forests, despite this, we do not provide ourselves with food. it is very strange. this is very sadly. and today, our task is not to import, but to organize the transfer of technologies to africa. such technologies exist and there are areas in which cooperation suggests itself. in this cooperation, russia is ready to play a very significant role by proving both its reliability as a partner and serious intentions at the plenary session of the second economic and humanitarian forum. russia africa vladimir putin announced immediate plans for the continent to be delivered up to 50,000 tons of grain absolutely free of charge for those who need more total. we will be ready in the coming months in the next 3-4 months

to provide free of charge burkina-fu zimbali somalia to the central african republic, here is 250,000 tons of grain, we will also provide free delivery of these products to consumers. it is quite obvious that global crises have a serious impact on the situation in africa and destabilize the situation, which is sometimes not the easiest, as he said in his speech at the plenary session. the president of the union of the comoros is doing everything possible to maintain peace and security on the continent, but the latest events in nigeria do not always turn out to be confirmed by the african union, in which azalea sumani presides, the rebellion strongly condemns and demands the immediate release of the country's president. however

, geographically much more distant conflicts also have an impact on the situation. in particular , the ukrainian echoes even on the other side of the earth. today it is necessary to fight for a sustainable peace between russia and ukraine, and this is the message that the african union is delivering today with this idea. we we went to president zelensky in kiev. we appeal to the president of russia, mr. putin, we are sure that our call for peace will be heard, since this is what humanity needs today. i again call for a peaceful existence between russia and ukraine between fraternal neighbors. issues of establishing and maintaining peace in crisis situations in these areas , contacts will be intensified as part of a large-scale joint action plan until

2026, in addition, russia and the african union can create permanent a mechanism for consultation on issues of combating terrorism and extremism, ensuring food information and environmental security. and of course, as vladimir putin recalled, moscow is in favor of full membership of the association in the group of 20. the decision should be made in september during the new delhi meeting. yes , anastasia thank you with a note urgently, and with a ribbon , a ribbon, the uniforms of agencies report that ria novosti, with reference to the decree of the president, writes that vladimir putin awarded renault news war correspondent rostislav zhuravlev with the order of courage posthumously. now with a short advertisement, then continue

in egypt, branches of st. and also the opening of branches is being discussed. mifim also signed an agreement to open a center for biological threats in ethiopia about this not only to our channel within the forum. russia africa minister of science and higher education valery falkov told his interview right now. valery nikolaevich hello hello, the topic of russian education today during the plenary session was in my opinion one of the main ones and vladimir putin said that russia plans to open branches of our russian universities in african countries what countries are we talking about?

what kind of work is already being done, it must be said that, uh, personnel training is one of the key areas in general cooperation of the soviet union various fields, including engineering. this and work with natural extraction. uh, riches with blacks is a medical thing. well, of course, agriculture, so see if in general, 310,000 specialists have been trained over the years. and a little later, i will say in recent years we have been increasing the number, but not only do school graduates from various state american schools come to us, but we also try to go there to open branches. in particular, the largest african country, egypt, today claims the status of such an educational hub, and we have already decided to open

branches of our two largest universities , st. petersburg state university. here is autumn and kazan privolzhsky, too, federal university e. well, filya will open in the new academic year . that's great. uh, plus an agreement of intent within the framework of a large nuclear program, and it is not a secret that the nuclear program is being implemented in egypt and within the framework of this large program. the opening of branches has already been discussed , an agreement of intent has been reached by our national research university of mythia. uh, and another one of the universities, uh, which is leti, uh, this is st. petersburg our university of electrotechnical which, uh, also agreed on his presence in egypt well, at least this is what has already been worked out. and, of course, work is constantly going on and we are talking about opening.

not only branches of universities, literally today an agreement was signed on the opening of a new center for scientific research on biological threats, but in ethiopia, a program for the study of high studies at the russian institute of asian countries and also in other higher educational institutions in russia, for which purpose this program intends to cooperate in what areas and when actually will it be implemented? yes indeed we together with leading russian universities research centers, these are not only moscow state university st. throughout the current year , we have been preparing a development program in great detail . i would like to draw your attention to education and research. yes, in the field of oriental studies , americanistakies. we know that this is a unique

interdisciplinary field of education. uh, moreover, an act with one sides. why in this why we approached this from one side you see, uh, in recent years, we've been talking about the turn to the east. this cannot be done without the training of qualified personnel. we not only increase state-funded places, which in itself needs to be done, but not enough, but we also thought about the quality of education, and the quality of education is so integrated, the indicator depends on a lot of things, but in the field of high knowledge it is important. it has its own specifics - the study of languages ​​and cultural features economy of the history of the country or that region of the macro-region where the specialist is being trained, so here, on the one hand, it is very important to provide an opportunity for language training in the host country, on the other hand, to provide. uh, the presence of e representatives of e native speakers and representatives of the region that

is being studied it is desirable that they participate in the educational process. this is the scope of our application. we are now additional resources. we'll be directing you here. well, plus i, you know, it is not enough to develop oriental studies rolling only in our capitals in moscow and st. petersburg. they are traditionally universities and research institutes. here they are famous for the quality of scientific research and training, but we must not forget about the regions, especially the uh regions, which are traditionally connected historically. from the east, this is kalmykia - this is also very good buryatia, uh, we have developments, uh, in the irkutsk region of the tomsk region, this is krasnoyarsk uh. well, this, of course, is, uh, in its purest form, uh, many regions of the far eastern federal district - this is yakutia, this and the amur region is also the trans-baikal territory, the khabarovsk territory. and of course,

it is very important for primorye far eastern federal university itself that oriental studies develop there in their turn. we have good uh, we have experience in pranks in the central part of russia, when both students enter and relationships are built at regional universities, therefore it is also important to support the region here, based on such considerations, we have developed a special program in order to give additional impetus and support e -e in those directions and those regions where there are good groundwork to support. for more dynamic development and education and research. well, they have already said about the importance of internships in the country of the language being studied. we understand the tradition. but very connected. the fact that the egyptians, one-year internships are possible, you can even go there for 2 more years. is such work being carried out, and in relation to the countries of central africa and , again, to study the language there, dry such work is certainly being carried out, but nevertheless we

carefully studied the experience of the soviet period. he, perhaps, is exemplary, and, firstly, er, we have lost in terms of the duration of training. and it didn’t benefit the orders, not oriental studies, in the pursuit of some unified standards, we reduced the training period to 4 years, which turned out to be unjustified here , you know, like the situation when, along with water, it’s like throwing a child out and of course you need to return here make reasonable terms of study, because this direction is complex , it implies a serious one. here is the labor intensity, including those associated with internships and learning languages ​​in less than five and a half years did not prepare a good specialist and a random part of the leading universities returned, they returned as part of the transformations that we had at the beginning of the zero years to a four-year term of study, and then returned anyway from a five-year term , and somewhere and 5.5. but this is the first point, and the second

is internships as such, but they are not a prerequisite for training. here, uh, what this all leads to, of course, uh, and the number of languages ​​studied has decreased in soviet time. we studied dozens of african languages, and today, on the fingers of one hand, the number of languages ​​that we study is given by students. this is just due to the reduction here there are internships and resource bases and much, much more for each and every such language can be a few in quotation marks. no, these are several tens, millions, people, given. e that the countries of africa are often numerous and have a large population. a young population, while there are strange ones, where half of the population is under 18 years old and a population where a colossal shortage of education, both school and higher. well, of course, uh, we need

to promote the russian language in these countries and learn the language spoken in certain african countries in order to avoid our education systems. let's give an opportunity, because education is a great blessing and a great value. countries of education in the soviet period in soviet universities they are quite open about cooperation with russia, they are ready. and in general , it turns out that there are human resources in these countries already remaining from the soviet era in order to increase our presence of 310,000 specialists. it is not for nothing that only the russian peoples' friendship university, trained by us, has trained two presidents. the african states of 16 ministers are not talking about the system of soviet and russian education in general, and this is the best tool for promoting our universities for our scientific research, because the one who was educated in our country. he is

completely different, yes, with a testimonial in his homeland. and just recently. today we met in general with a number of colleagues, they speak fluent russian. here is one of them, for example, the current minister. law enforcement graduated from the volgograd state medical university. his time is still eighty third year, then he became a minister in his homeland in one african country, and he directly says that all that i have achieved in my country. this is due to the good education that i received in the soviet union then, so education is what is called a social lift today. well, most likely for most, the one who studies hard, it's not an elevator. and it's just a lot of steps up the stairs and it's hard to walk on them, but completely different doors open. well , in addition, education provides an opportunity for the development of a video of a russian

exploration university geologist in africa discovered more than 20,000 oil fields. now yes , we have one in six africans there as well, as we work so that we may be building up here. uh, your presence. and here is the huge potential that they rightly said, here is the agrarian one, which makes up the majority of the country africans are moving towards industrialization in their economy, of course, relying primarily on the extraction of minerals somewhere else and it is possible to recycle, and in this regard , we have the richest traditions in geology of training specialists in geology in geophysics in general over a wide range of mining and recycling transportation of natural resources. and uh, we have at least. i will give two examples, and within the framework of such an initiative as the russian african network university. uh, uh, 5 years ago. it was created as a result. uh meetings of our president with

african leaders. and here, the geological prospecting university named after sergey ordzhonikidze, on its own basis , created a platform for training specialists for many african countries , primarily for zimbabwe, just yesterday, on the basis of the st. a. at the same time, what is especially important in principle , the mining university of st. petersburg is participating in our pilot project on renewal of the higher education system. ah, what are we doing now. uh, a lot of work is aimed at improving the quality of russian higher education for balancing. the uh of various kinds, uh the constituent components of this system so that it becomes more of a national interest meets the demand of the labor market. so. uh, that's a big step forward.

since the creation of such a console amount, we have two universities. i repeat once again. st. petersburg's largest university of the mineral-salt complex and the geological exploration ministry ordzhonikidze is also an industry specialist who is doing this work, and we very much hope that this will not only lead to an increase in the number of specialists, but certainly the african country needs specialists specifically for working with subsoil. well, what is separate is important, this is scientific research in this direction. univer now it's like on the basis of the russian african network university, if now there are relevant statistics on the summer university program, and what proportion of students there are in african countries. yes, this is a very important project. i am percentage. now i won't

tell you specifically, but uh believe me, this is a significant amount. and here comes the next release. uh, we have here, uh, a whole row, generally in uh. many russian universities are participating in this initiative. but now the key role belongs to the st. petersburg flight, literally. there will be another release tomorrow. uh, it's short, as the program would say. mostly. it's not even so much the students. how many representatives, i would say, of the management teams of the university are the most different, including a lot from the american countries, follow us, please, some kind of agreements, maybe now they are being prepared. within the framework of the russia a forum, more than 50 different kinds of agreements are one of the main ones, which was signed today on the creation of a center e from a special center for the study of the biological diversity of biological threats in ethiopia, we have very long-standing relations with ethiopia in this direction for 35 years, a special expedition operated. we have now decided to create a center

for the ethiopian side. uh, it should be now for its part to prepare the necessary material base. well, our specialists are in charge here of the severtsev institute of the russian academy of sciences, but, because basically the bones of the specialists working in this center are precisely. uh, representatives of this institution, although a wide range of other institutions are involved. and this is very important not only, but in general for the world and for the country, since biological diversity itself. one must study africa rich continent. not only natural security human capital. yes, but also biological diversity. and we want to summarize it here, and take this work to another level. and now it is planned to sign a whole series of new and opening agreements. well affiliates as we spoke and memorandum of understanding. they have different statuses, but the site itself is the second forum,

russia of africa is a great opportunity not only in the field of watches, but also to launch new projects. valery nikolaevich thank you very much for the interview and let's hope that these projects will be successful in africa, that the number of specialists and how african in russia and russian in africa will be increased, we will work. the french wanted to do everything possible to prevent a war. my grandfather always considered youthism with russia as the main condition

. 2018 we will take up this matter. it will be the honest detective.
