The appreciative audience fired numerous questions on future BRICS expansion and possible cooperation between Russia and Latin America in facing new threats and challenges. The students also inquired about the stages of a diplomatic career and skills required for a professional diplomat. According to Ambassador Morozov, the point is in the ability to establish and maintain contacts, and compile documents using open information.
Highly praising the event, the University Pro-Rector on Science and International Cooperation Sergey Verkhovets underlined that guest lectures are extremely important for the students since direct contacts with top professionals help them build contextual thinking and improve the perception of global processes and Russia’s global role.
