"Educational exchange and cooperation is among the most crucial components of China-Greece relations. In recent years, significant progress has been made with the support of both governments and universities in both countries. I hope that this exchange can serve as an opportunity for deeper and more practical cooperation between Chinese and Greek universities," Xiao said in his opening remarks.
In the presence of Ambassador Xiao and the president of the University of West Attica, the signing of a memorandum of understanding between CSCSE and the “Study in Greece” program laid a solid foundation for international exchange and cooperation between universities in both countries.
Representatives from Chinese and Greek universities introduced the distinctive features of their respective institutions, international exchange programs and academic achievements. Both sides expressed a positive attitude toward promoting inter-university exchange and cooperation.
In the afternoon, the “Study in China”-Chinese University Exhibition was held. Twenty-four Chinese universities provided information about their academic programs, offering application consultations for Greek students who are interested in studying in China.
The delegation included not only world-renowned comprehensive universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University and Fudan University, but also high-tech universities such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the University of Science and Technology of China and the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Additionally, representatives from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Beijing Forestry University, as well as well-known local universities such as Guizhou University and Yunnan University. They represented China's highest-quality educational resources and the advantages of various types of institutions.
This event will promote the global presence of higher education in China, further strengthen the "Study in China" brand and invigorate educational exchanges and cooperation among Chinese and Greek universities.
