During the discussion, Lavrov emphasized the important role of the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, in the development of educational initiatives. He noted that the educational standards of each country are part of its sovereignty and should be approached with respect. According to him, the Russian-Kyrgyz project initiated by President Japarov is aimed at harmonizing school and university programs.
The minister stressed that with the successful advancement of this project, the possibility of expanding multilateral cooperation will be offered to other CIS countries.
Lavrov also added: "We intend to continue our work with the ANO 'Eurasia', which plays a key role in the Kyrgyz direction. The Ministry of Education will be the main agency, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to actively participate in this process. We have big plans, and together with efforts to promote the Russian language, as well as within the framework of a new international organization and other formats, there is potential for the successful implementation of these initiatives."
Alena Arshinova expressed gratitude to Minister Lavrov for supporting the 'Eurasia' projects, including assistance to displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as for establishing productive relations with the Kyrgyz Republic.
