At the Faculty of International Relations of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, a meeting “Leader and Youth” was organized under the motto “Face to face with future diplomats” with the participation of 2nd year students. This event served to strengthen the bridge of trust between the university management and students, as well as to increase young people’s sense of involvement in the educational process.

During the conversation, the dean of the faculty, M. Abdullaeva, particularly focused on the transformation processes carried out at the university in recent years, bringing the quality of education in line with international standards and new horizons opening up for students. In particular, innovative projects aimed at realizing the scientific potential of students, internship programs launched jointly with foreign partner universities, as well as the benefits of active participation in the public life of the university were discussed in detail. In her speech, M. Abdullayeva emphasized that a modern diplomat is required not only to have deep theoretical knowledge, but also creative thinking and initiative, and that every new project introduced at the university directly serves the professional growth of young people.

The part of the meeting dedicated to questions and answers was distinguished by the activity of students and an abundance of creative ideas. Future specialists made their proposals for further enriching the curriculum, increasing the number of intellectual competitions throughout the university and expanding the activities of student clubs. Each opinion and judgment was carefully listened to by the leadership of the faculty, and specific measures were outlined for their further implementation in practice.

Such meetings in the format of sincere and open dialogue will undoubtedly become an important basis for ensuring not only the current activities of students, but also their future success in the diplomatic sphere.
