The article analyzes the foregrounding of the "Asian factor" in UNESCO Chairs activities, in particular, the diverse work of the UNESCO Chair at the IAAS, Moscow State University (MSU). The UNESCO Chair on Asian and African Studies: Modern Methods of Studying and Teaching focuses on the formation of new cultural and spatial dimension through intercultural dialogue and interethnic communication. Students of IAAS study in multi-ethnic, multicultural and multi-confessional world, coexisting in different cultural and ideological parallels. To make this civilization interaction possible, the main emphasis should be placed on the joint formation of the fundamental system of "consent" according to the basic principles of the new world order.
