During a working visit to Russia by the personnel management department of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), the state Rosatom and CNNC signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for interaction on the development of mutually beneficial cooperation.

The MOU was signed by Rosatom Deputy General Director for Personnel, Tatyana Terentyeva, and the Acting Head of CNNC’s Personnel Management Department, Li Changyu. The signing ceremony took place in the Atom Museum (Pavilion №19) at the All-Russia Exhibition Centre (VDNKh - Vistravka Dostizhenii Narodnovo Khozyaistva) in Moscow.

The agreement provides for implementation of joint projects and initiatives; coordination of activities in the field of developing a human-centric approach to training and personnel development; cooperation between the youth and women's industry communities of the two countries; and much more.

“We are always open to dialogue and are interested in developing a partnership with the Chinese State Nuclear Industry Corporation in terms of personnel, including in the multilateral format that we have established within the framework of the BRICS-based Nuclear Energy Platform,” noted Tatyana Terentyeva. “We are convinced that the agreement and road map signed today will make it possible to clearly define stages, goals and areas of responsibility, which will certainly increase the effectiveness of joint work. We hope to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the development of the high-tech labour market and human resources.”

The CNNC's delegation also visited the Rosatom Technical Academy in Obninsk and Rosatom Corporate Academy in Moscow.
