🇵🇰 Russia and Pakistan: Humanitarian Cooperation Through Concrete Projects

Today, August 14, Pakistan celebrates Independence Day. To mark the occasion, we decided to highlight not only the country itself, but also what brings Russia and Pakistan together today in the humanitarian sphere.

Education, science, Russian language learning, youth and academic exchanges, joint research, cultural initiatives, and cooperation in emergency response — Russia–Pakistan humanitarian ties now span an increasingly wide range of areas.

🇷🇺🤝🇵🇰 In our cards, we have brought together concrete projects and initiatives between Russia and Pakistan: from joint student research teams and cooperation between RUDN University and NUST to educational programs, Russian government scholarships for Pakistani students, and projects promoting the Russian language.

😊 A special role in developing these ties is played by the Russian House in Karachi — the representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo in Pakistan. The Russian Centre for Science and Culture has been operating in the country for more than half a century and today remains one of the key platforms for introducing people to the Russian language and culture, implementing educational and cultural programs, and fostering direct people-to-people contacts between the two countries.

Russia’s educational infrastructure in Pakistan continues to develop. In Islamabad, at Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) and with the participation of Ural State Pedagogical University, the first Russian Open Education Center in Pakistan has begun operating. The center offers Russian language programs and introduces Pakistani students to Russian education and culture.

New Russian language programs are also being developed at other Pakistani universities, expanding opportunities for academic and humanitarian exchanges between the two countries.
