Gu remarked, “We have travelled from China to Thailand, and from Thailand to Malaysia. Our main purpose is to develop our university’s network globally. We hope to promote the recognition of dual-degree programmes and joint degree programmes under the One Belt, One Road initiative. I believe that we should develop our collaboration step by step, which could start from the understanding of universities’ administration affairs, short term overseas training programmes and student exchange programmes.I hope that future collaborations with UTAR will achieve a win-win situation and bring many benefits to the students.”
