The meeting was very warm and friendly, and the discussion helped to define the prospects of the cooperation development. Mr Mutashar highly appreciated the level of readiness UdSU shows when enrolling Arabic-speaking students. Not only the quality of education students get at UdSU matters, but also the access to informative and instructive resources in Arabic and the possibility to apply for study through social networks: in Facebook students can find the UdSU page in Arabic
