“MGIMO Days” in New Delhi: How It Was 🇷🇺🤝🇮🇳

On 26 and 27 May, the capital of India hosted “MGIMO Days”, bringing together more than 200 school and university students dreaming of a career in international relations and of entering the alma mater of world leaders.

On 26 May, the grand opening of “MGIMO Days” took place at the Russian House in New Delhi.

The honorary guests were Roman Babushkin, Minister‑Counsellor of the Russian Embassy in India, and Elena Remizova, head of the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in New Delhi.

Roman Babushkin, graduate of the MGIMO School of International Relations’04, delivered a welcoming address to the event participants:

“MGIMO is not just a university, it is a door that opens the whole world to you.” The diplomat recalled famous alumni of the university – ministers, ambassadors, heads of state and major corporations – and also highlighted the unprecedented level of specialist training that remains the University’s hallmark: “Today MGIMO trains professionals capable of solving the most complex problems at the intersection of politics, economics and law.”

Elizaveta Rudenko, Head of the MGIMO International Marketing, told prospective students about the academic programs and opportunities for international students.

Participants were able to test their knowledge in an interactive quiz “Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between Russia and India”, conducted by Victoria Sosnitskaya, Public Relations Specialist of the International Marketing Group. The most active participants received memorable souvenirs from the “MGIMO International” collection.

Schoolchildren showed particular interest in a lecture by Ekaterina Bostoganashvili, Deputy Dean of the School of International Business and Senior Lecturer at the I.N. Gerchikova Department of Management, Marketing and Foreign Economics. She highlighted the specifics of cross-cultural communication in business negotiations and spoke about the opportunities that the School of International Business offers to its students and graduates.

On 27 May, MGIMO representatives held presentation and interactive sessions at the Russian Embassy School in India and at the University of Delhi.

️Experts, participants and organisers agreed that “MGIMO Days” in New Delhi proved to be an effective platform for developing youth dialogue, educational cooperation between Russia and India, and for strengthening the long‑standing friendship between the peoples of our countries.

We thank the Russian Embassy in India, the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in New Delhi, and all colleagues who contributed to organising “MGIMO Days” in India for their support!
