Khlevnyar, the newly appointed Director of the Russian House, who emphasized Russia’s long-term commitment to Bangladesh’s human resource development. “Our goal is to offer talented Bangladeshi students the opportunity to study at Russian universities, so they can return and contribute to Bangladesh’s progress,” she said.
