This was discussed at the meeting between Oleg Gribunov, acting rector of
BSU, Doctor of Law, Professor, and Mrs. Batsukh Ichinhorloo, Consul General of
Mongolia in Irkutsk. According to the Consul General, customs and tourism are
also in-demand specialties for Mongolian students. "We are the nearest neighbors
and we need such specialists for the development of our economic relations, -
commented Batsukh Ichinhorloo, - still remains relevant for our students to
study Russian language. Mongolian business representatives have a need not just
for specialists in economics, law, customs and tourism. They need personnel with
knowledge of the Russian language".
Professor Gribunov said that Baikal State University has all the
opportunities to meet the needs of Mongolian organizations in training qualified
personnel, and the International Faculty provides language training of various
levels. "A number of students from Mongolia are now studying at our university
at the expense of the quotas of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education on
bachelor's and postgraduate programs. We have a strong teaching staff, focused
on training, including Mongolian students, - explained Professor Gribunov, - for
example, one of the largest Mongolian scientists of the region, Professor Yuri
Vasilievich Kuzmin, works at our university".
After the meeting, Mrs. Consul General Batsukh Ichinhorloo visited the
university: she visited the Scientific Library and the Rector's Reading Room,
and gave an interview to the student media center. The Resource Center for
Russian-Mongolian Cooperation was of great interest to the Consul General.
