During the working visit to Vietnam, the delegation of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science headed by Deputy Minister Konstantin Mogilevsky held a number of negotiations with specialized scientific and educational departments of the country. MPEI delegation was represented by Anastasia Mashkova, Director on Integration Policy Development.

The program of the visit included a number of meetings with specialized scientific and educational organizations of the country, including the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Russian-Vietnamese Tropical Research and Technology Center, Hanoi State University.

The delegates also visited the Hanoi branch of the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute where they met with the Institute's teachers and students studying the Russian language and culture. During the visit, Konstantin Mogilevsky presented certificates to candidates who had passed the Pushkin Institute's tests during the March session. This year it celebrates its 40th anniversary, maintaining its status as the leading center of Vietnamese-Russian studies in the country.

During the 24th session of the Russian-Vietnamese Intergovernmental Commission, Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister, called for intensifying work to form a Russian-Vietnamese Consortium of Technical Universities.

On April 7, during a visit to the new campus of Hanoi National University (HNU), for training highly professional personnel for various spheres, Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that the consortium creation would make it possible to provide industry, including the energy sector, with highly qualified personnel capable of solving the most serious tasks. "To develop scientific and educational cooperation, it is necessary to intensify work on the formation of a Russian-Vietnamese consortium of technical universities on MPEI basis together with MAI and Hanoi National University” – Dmitry Chernyshenko noted.

This autumn, Russian participants are ready to accept representatives of Vietnam's industrial partners for internships to launch the Consortium's activities. The program will be designed for up to 5 months, and training will be conducted in Vietnamese or English. It is assumed that Vietnamese participants will be accompanied by their compatriots who are studying under the main educational programs of universities. Thus, it will be easier for Vietnamese students to adapt.

To establish interuniversity dialog, the parties agreed to hold the II Forum of Rectors of Vietnamese and Russian universities in Moscow in 2023. Konstantin Mogilevsky invited colleagues and heads of Vietnamese universities to participate in the event.
