       -Within the Framework of the year of youth, as well as the program "Rukhani Zhangyru" and the program article of the President of Kazakhstan N. A.

       In addition, it is planned to develop bilateral educational and cultural ties, develop academic mobility and double-degree education between universities of the two countries.
