Igor Voitov asked the Ambassador to assist in establishing partnerships with Emirati universities.
Ambassador Ibrahim Salim Mohamed Al Musharrakh noted the importance of educational cooperation between the two countries and the fact that BSTU trains engineers in a range of specialties, which are either scarce or absent in the UAE.
