In China, Deputy Prime Minister and Co-Chair of the Russian-Chinese Commission on Regular Meetings of Heads of Government Dmitry Chernyshenko reviewed the infrastructure of Shenzhen MSU-BIT, the joint university by Lomonosov Moscow State University and Beijing Institute of Technology, and toured the Shenzhen International UAV Exhibition and the Drone World Congress 2026.
The Deputy Prime Minister was accompanied by Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Maxim Oreshkin and Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin.
Dmitry Chernyshenko and Maxim Oreshkin toured the MSU-BIT campus, including lecture halls, the supercomputer cluster, and the Russian-Chinese Joint Laboratory of Nano-Structured Optoelectrical Functional Materials and Devices. They also had a working meeting with MSU-BIT President Li Hezhang.
Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that on 20 May, Russian President Vladimir Putin and President of China Xi Jinping opened the Cross Years of Russia-China Cooperation in Education in a special ceremony.
“High-quality education is the bedrock of individual development and of society as a whole – of people’s ability to realise their potential and to advance professionally. These are the words President Vladimir Putin said yesterday. Shenzhen MSU-BIT University is the flagship of Russia-China cooperation in science and education. This institution regularly holds the Science 0+ open festival. MSU-BIT is a major Russian studies centre in China. During the President’s visit to China, points of growth were identified in the science and education cooperation between our countries. We’ll keep working,” the Russian Deputy Prime Minister said.
Shehzhen MSU-BIT offers 59 study programmes and 16 research and training departments, including Computational Mathematics and Computer Science, the AI Research Institute, and others.
“Artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and platforms currently determine the contours of Russia’s technological sovereignty. It is important to study best global practices and, more importantly, create our own breakthrough projects in Russia. True leadership is achievable through three components: advanced solutions, systematic professional training, and broad implementation of new technology in the key sectors of the Russian economy,” noted Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Maxim Oreshkin.
Over 20,000 Russian undergraduate and postgraduate students are currently studying in Chinese universities. At Shenzhen MSU-BIT, the number of Russian and other international students is close to 5,000. More than 56,000 Chinese students are taking degree programmes in Russia. Considering additional programmes and academic mobility schemes, the overall number is close to 70,000. The Russian Government quota for Chinese students is 1,000 places this year.
At Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre, Dmitry Chernyshenko, Maxim Oreshkin and Andrei Nikitin visited the Shenzhen International UAV Exhibition and the Drone World Congress 2026. The event’s tagline was, Low-Altitude Economy for Future Takeoff. The congress focused on autonomous navigation, aerial mobility in a city, logistics solutions, smart cities, artificial intelligence and associated industries.
Russian universities are also paying great attention to unmanned aviation. For example, under the Priority 2030 programme, 16 universities are carrying out 16 strategic technological projects.
Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin said that unmanned aviation is gaining particular importance for international cooperation.
“Civilian drones, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), logistics platforms and digital solutions for airspace management are becoming integral to the transport system. They are changing approaches to mobility, cargo logistics, industrial monitoring, infrastructure development and security,” the minister noted.
Andrei Nikitin added that the main goal is to translate accumulated technological potential into practical applications. He expressed hope that the congress would strengthen international cooperation, prompting joint projects and mutually beneficial agreements between authorities and businesses.
