Detailed summary

SHANGHAI, November 12. /TASS/. The Muravyov-Amursky training program for public officials working in the Far East and the Arctic is one of the most practical and effective programs of the kind over the recent decade, Director of the Institute of Asian and African Studies at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Professor Alexey Maslov told TASS.

"This is one of the most effective and really working programs over the recent decade, because it is tailored precisely to a specific project," said Alexey Maslov, who is on a working visit to the East China Normal University in Shanghai. The professor stressed that the program purposefully trains officials to work in the regions, and they would be able to develop relations with bordering Chinese provinces and, possibly, with other neighboring countries. Several dozen program graduates have been working in administrations of Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Blagoveshchensk, Ussuriysk and other cities, he added.

One of the training program's big blocks every year takes place in China, he continued. About 60 program participants have come to China this year.

"The main task is to show how China works in terms of managing enterprises and cities, to have students meet city managers, to show how the Russian foreign policy is working in China," the institute's director said. In the current year, the program's Chinese part is organized in Harbin and Shanghai.

The program's objective is to attract talented and motivated young people. The program is interesting for young people because it "offers excellent career opportunities and excellent training," he said. "For the first time, precisely thanks to the efforts of the Ministry for Development of the Far East and Arctic and of the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, such a program has been working in Russia, and its several years have demonstrated its absolute effectiveness."
