Myanmar and Nizhny Novgorod explore new educational partnerships at CIPR 2026
A delegation from Myanmar met with officials in Nizhny Novgorod on May 20, 2026, to discuss educational partnerships. The talks took place at the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin during the CIPR conference, which runs from May 18 to 21. Both sides explored ways to strengthen ties in higher education and research. Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, welcomed the Myanmar representatives. He highlighted the region’s strong academic base, with universities hosting around 100,000 students—7,000 of them from abroad. Nikitin also expressed a desire to increase the number of Myanmar students and expand joint educational initiatives.
Myo Thein Kyaw, Myanmar’s Minister of Science and Technology, praised the NEIMARK IT Campus for its high standards. The delegation’s schedule included a visit to Alekseev Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University (NSTU), where they planned to tour research facilities and meet Myanmar students. Currently, these students are studying nuclear power engineering and thermal physics at NSTU. Olga Guseva, Nizhny Novgorod’s Minister of International and Interregional Relations, noted that closer educational cooperation would help deepen cultural connections between the two regions.
The meeting focused on expanding academic exchanges and joint programmes. Myanmar’s delegation will continue exploring opportunities at NSTU and other local institutions. If successful, these efforts could lead to more students from Myanmar studying in Nizhny Novgorod in the coming years.
