"We are optimistic about reaching an agreement with India that would ensure mutual recognition of our degrees," Alipov said on the day the Russian Embassy in New Delhi hosted the Indian participants of the World Youth Festival in Sochi.
Russia hosted the World Youth Festival in Sochi between March 1 and 7. It was attended by a 360-strong contingent from India.
"As many as 20,000 people from 190 countries participated in the festival. We are very happy that you also attended the festival. The 'Tiranga' (Indian flag) was one of the most recognisable symbols at the festival and the Indian delegation, to our delight, was one of the largest," Alipov told the gathering.
