Lavrov noted that the educational standards of each country are regarded as part of its sovereignty, and this must be respected. In particular, he highlighted the Russian-Kyrgyz project initiated by President Japarov, aimed at harmonizing educational programs in both schools and universities.
The minister also mentioned that upon achieving successful results in this area, opportunities for multilateral cooperation could be offered to other CIS countries as well.
“We intend to continue our interaction with the ANO 'Eurasia', which acts as the main 'operator' in the Kyrgyz direction. The primary agency on this issue is the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will actively participate in this important work. I see good prospects in this cooperation, especially considering the promotion of the Russian language and the development of new international organizations,” added Sergey Lavrov.
Alena Arshinova expressed gratitude to the Russian Foreign Minister for supporting the 'Eurasia' projects, including assistance to displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh in Armenia and for active cooperation with the Kyrgyz Republic.
