Kagbara underscored the significance of the World Youth Festival (WYF 2024) as an important platform for African students, expressing their keen interest in forging partnerships with Russian universities and securing scholarships for their students to study in Moscow.
The sentiment was echoed by Professor Nourhan El-Sheikh from Cairo University, who highlighted Russia's ability to bring together individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds to foster collaboration and envision a collective future. El-Sheikh asserted that Western dominance is waning, emphasizing the need for collaboration between Egypt and Russia, particularly within the framework of BRICS, to effect meaningful political, economic, and strategic changes on a global scale.
