The traditional awards ceremony, organized by the committee for external relations, took place at Smolny. Letters of thanks and awards were presented to foreign students and activists by the committee's chairman, Evgeny Grigoriev.

Among those awarded were representatives of SPbGASU who demonstrated high activity in educational and social activities in 2025: Edgar Barseghyan, Irina Peretokin, Andrey Kornyushin, and Mekhrubon Madaminov.

Mekhrubon Madaminov, head of the "Kuppiya" study club at the SPbGASU International Students Council, shared his impressions of the event: "Before the ceremony, participants were given a tour of Smolny, which allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of the building's history and its role in the city's life. The event took place in a warm and positive atmosphere, leaving behind vivid impressions and a sense of pride in being part of the city's public life."

"The participation of SPbGASU students in such events confirms the university's significant contribution to the development of international cooperation," noted Shuainat Akhmadulaeva, Head of the SPbGASU International Relations Division.
