As part of the visit to the United Kingdom, President of
Astana International University (AIU) S.A. Irsaliyev held a meeting with Alibek
Asetuly Bakaev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of
Kazakhstan to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
During the meeting, the head of the diplomatic mission
was briefed on AIU’s key projects in the internationalization of higher
education, with a particular focus on the UK. Special attention was given to
prospects for partnership with the global education group INTO, as well as the
large-scale initiative to establish an innovative “global multicampus.”
Ambassador A.A. Bakaev noted that strengthening
cooperation in higher education is one of the diplomatic mission’s priority
areas and expressed readiness to provide comprehensive support for the
implementation of the projects presented by AIU.

up new opportunities for further developing the university’s cooperation with
UK universities.
