Moscow Polytech Participates in the First International Russian and Pakistani Conference
Representatives of Moscow Polytech visited the First International Scientific Conference between Russia and Pakistan “Development of Russian-Pakistani Relations in a Changing World Order”. Representatives of about 30 universities from the two countries participated in the Conference. Over two days, sessions were held simultaneously at several platforms in both offline and online. More than 300 delegates attended the Conference. Representatives of scientific and expert communities together with businesspersons, journalists, diplomats and politicians discussed a wide range of cooperation between the two countries.
Konstantin Mogilevsky, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia, and Muhammad Khalid Jamali, Ambassador of Pakistan to Russia, made a welcoming speech to the Conference participants.
The Conference topics covered geopolitics, security, economic co-operation and integration within the SCO and EAEU. The participants discussed the prospects for cooperation in the context of global changes.
As part of his presentation on “Promoting Strategic Growth through Cross-National Education and Investment Partnerships”, Nazir Magsi, Lecturer at Moscow Polytechnic University, stated that the development of sustainable relations depends on the creation of strong educational partnerships. “Education should be the foundation for long-term cooperation and development,” said Nazir Magsi.
According to Nazir Magsi, education is a predictive tool that can introduce peoples to other cultures, train the specialists and create a solid foundation for the development of economic relations.
In addition, the Expert stressed that language and cultural exchange programmes played an important role in fostering mutual understanding and cooperation. Such initiatives would deepen ties between students, professionals and institutions, paving the way for closer co-operation in all sectors.
To support economic cooperation, Nazir Magsi proposed the establishment of a joint Pakistani-Russian Labour Market Research Centre. This Centre would analyse labour market trends in both countries, identify skills gaps and match educational programmes with changing skills needs. Both countries will be able to develop skilled and adaptive professionals capable of meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing global economy.
“The future belongs to those who educate and innovate together,” said Nazir Magsi.
The Conference was attended by such leading Russian universities as Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Moscow Polytechnic University, Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, ISAA of Lomonosov Moscow State University, MGIMO, RUDN, Tomsk State University, Higher School of Economics, MSLU and St. Petersburg State University. The Pakistani side was represented by universities from Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and other cities. In total, more than 300 delegates took part in the conference.
