Kirsan Ilyumzhinov meets with his Kalmykia compatriot

On 16 May, the first president of Kalmykia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov met in his Moscow office with his compatriot Gerel Vankaeva.

Gerel is a graduate of Moscow State University. She studied at the Faculty of World Politics. She also graduated from the Faculty of International Trade of the Shanghai University with a red diploma. She is fluent in English and Chinese. She recently won a contest for young business leaders in Russia and goes to study in America.

Gerel together with a team of young people created an “IT startup”, a beta version of which will be released soon.
“I am very glad that our youth develops, keeps up with the times, builds and creates. It is good that they study and search for new horizons. Youth is a great time. The team has healthy and good ambitions to develop an international project. I support this initiative,” Ilyumzhinov said.
