I am very proud to study at the University, because I am developing not only in the engineering field, but also as a diplomat. So, last year I became a delegate to the Russia–Africa summit. I also want to say that there are people here who are always ready to help, who are sincerely interested in your affairs. Thanks to them, among other things, I can speak Russian. Being here, I feel like at home with my family”.
