On the morning of June 26, a five-member delegation from Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec), New Zealand, visited our university for exchange. Wang Wei, Deputy Secretary of the University Party Committee and President, and Chen Jiangfeng, Vice President, received the visitors. Chen Jiangfeng presided over the forum.

Wang Wei remarked that as a prestigious higher education institution in New Zealand, Waikato Institute of Technology enjoys an international reputation and serves as a key partner for China-New Zealand educational cooperation. Taking this visit as a new starting point, our university hopes to carry out in-depth cooperation with Wintec in academic program development, faculty exchange, student training and scientific research collaboration, so as to jointly set an exemplary model for Sino-foreign educational cooperation.

The two universities share profound friendship and have achieved fruitful cooperation outcomes. This visit provides an important opportunity to expand collaboration. Building on existing achievements, both sides will further deepen their partnership.
Subsequently, the two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding. They plan to cooperate on developing joint talent training programs, establishing Sino-foreign cooperative education programs or institutions, and facilitating exchanges for teachers and students.
