Dr. Boris Misikov the Rector of Sakhalin University and Deputy of the Sakhalin State Duma and Dr Viphandh Roengpithya, the president of Asian University have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enable further cooperation between their universities in the future.
The formal signing, along with an exchange of gifts, took place on the top floor of the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok last week, 20 August. Also present were Dr. Misikov’s wife, Marina, who also works at Sakhalin University along with Dr. Ruslan Yakimenko, the Director of the faculty of Service and Tourism.
The universities have already been working together as 15 students and one lecturer from Sakhalin have been on a specially designed three week Summer University programme with Asian University. The students are studying Tourism in Sakhalin and were keen to learn about tourism in Thailand, especially as Russians are the fastest growing sector of tourists coming to Thailand at the moment.
Asian university is located on Highway 331, about 20km from Jomtien, while Sakhalin Island is in the very far East of Russia, to the North of Japan.
