Marina Alimaskina mentioned that a quality higher education is an essential asset for the creation of a positive image of Russia in the international arena which allows boosting cooperation with foreign countries. The RACUS representative emphasised that the organization has been working in Tunisia since 1995. The citizens of the Republic of Tunisia who graduated from Russian universities are now highly qualified sought-after Russian-speaking specialists in the modern labor market of the country. Thus, in the many years of work in Tunisia, RACUS organization has established itself as the ambassador of Russia in the humanitarian field, providing a valuable contribution to the development of the economy of the Republic of Tunisia. And today the country is still open to new projects, new collaborations and is interested in promoting Russian higher education in Africa and Asia, as well as all around the world.
