Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the pivotal role of educational exchanges in strengthening China-U.S. relations. Highlighting the importance of fostering mutual understanding and friendship, especially among the youth, Xi underscored that such collaborations are foundational for the future of both nations.
In a recent reply letter to Lamont Repollet, president of Kean University in the United States, Xi encouraged universities in China and the U.S. to enhance their exchanges and cooperation. This, he noted, would significantly contribute to building a lasting friendship between the two peoples.
Reflecting on past successes, Xi recalled witnessing the signing ceremony of the China-U.S. cooperation in establishing Wenzhou-Kean University in 2006. He praised the university's remarkable achievements, describing it as a landmark project in educational cooperation between China and the U.S.
Xi concluded by stating that the ties between China and the U.S. are crucial not only for the well-being of their respective populations but also for the future of humanity as a whole.
