President Hao Ping expressed that though COVID-19 brought severe
challenges to international cooperation, Peking University and Moscow
State University have established stronger ties in the areas of basic
research, major projects, cultural exchanges and personnel training. He
hopes that the brotherly friendship between the two universities can
withstand the test of time and become even stronger.

nearly 100 cooperative agreements, particularly the Sino-Russian
Mathematics Center, which represented the deepening exchanges between
the two universities and the strong support from two countries.
