Mobility of professors, students, and research collaboration between partner universities. This is one of the key points of the partnership agreement concluded between the Ural Federal University and the University of Kinshasa this Thursday, July 27, 2023, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This memorandum of understanding was signed during the Conference of Russian and African Rectors on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa Summit. The DRC Ambassador to Moscow, VANGU NGIMBI, Professor at the University of Kinshasa, represented the Rector of the University of Kinshasa, Professor Jean-Marie KAYEMBE NTUMBA, at these meetings. In addition to inter-university cooperation, cooperation in the field of migration should be noted. Russian and Congolese nationals will now be able to travel to both countries without requiring a Russian or DRC visa. All that is required is a diplomatic passport or a service passport.
