Pavel Shevtsov said, “Bangladesh is a country of talented people. I believe that Bangladesh will develop further in the future if it is possible to receive high-quality education, and the Russian government is always active in providing opportunities for Bangladeshi students to receive this world-class advanced education in world-famous Russian universities.”
Director of Russian House in Dhaka Pavel Dvoychenkov said that since 1974 the Russian House in Dhaka has been providing all institutional support for receiving Russian government scholarships for higher education in Russia in Bangladesh, as well as conducting Russian language education programs.
