As a part of the Russian-British Raw Materials Dialogue, a business session was held in Saint-Petersburg Mining University. Executives and specialists from both countries attended the meeting to participate in a discussion mainly relating to future outlook for trade and investment cooperation between our countries.

British miners gave their colleagues from Saint-Petersburg an authority to certify specialists of mineral companies with such titles as ”Professional Engineer” or ”Fellow Engineer”. As for today, these titles have been officially recognized in 124 countries.

The agreement between the government of the Russian Federation and the UN on the establishment of the International Center of Competence in Mining Education was ratified by the State Duma on October 18.
