At the same time, he noted that at one time, at the invitation of K.T. Zhumagulov, he visited KazNU, where he gave lectures to students, as well as Astana, where he spoke at an international conference dedicated to the glorious anniversary of the Kazakh Khanate. It is gratifying to note, he said, that between the two universities there is a double degree program, under which the best master's students receive a solid start in life with diplomas from La Sapienza and al-Farabi KazNU. He noted that not long ago, your rector, Mr. Zh.K. Tuimebaev came to us, giving new impetus to the further integration of the two universities.
