A delegation from the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Osaka, led by Consul General Aleksandr Terskikh, came to KUFS to see the exhibition jointly organized by The University Library and the Kyoto Prefectural Library, titled “Historical Materials on Russo-Japanese Negotiations since the ‘National Seclusion’ Period and Contemporaneous Russian Literature”. They were accompanied by library staffs including Professor Jo Higuchi, Director of The University Library.

Prior to viewing the exhibition, the delegation met with KUFS President Takeshi Matsuda, Professor Rie Hayashida, Chair of the Department of Russian Studies, and Associate Professor Grigory Misochko.

Consul General Terskikh, who assumed office this April, said “Exchanges between universities and students are essential in educating our students,” to which President Matsuda agreed, “I would also like there to be more exchange opportunities among universities and students.” The party promised continued cooperation in the future as Associate Professor Misochko concluded, “It would be great if you could speak to our students about the ties between Japan and Russia,” to which Mr. Terskikh replied, “I would be happy to.”
