It gives joy to see that nowadays Kyrgyz students continue to get demanded specialties in Russian Universities. The Consortium’s efforts have given an opportunity of receiving Russian education to the vast amount of Kyrgyz and contributed to the development of Russian and Kyrgyz economies and strengthening of the friendship ties»,— said Zhyldyz Bakashova.
