“The Russian Foreign Ministry highly values the education level of the university graduates, who successfully work in various fields in the central office, foreign companies, including on the senior positions. I wish you and the professors, graduates and students further success in work and studies. All the best,” Lavrov said in a statement at the event commemorating the 60th anniversary of the IAAS, the central higher educational institution of oriental studies in Russia.
