On May 18th, SJQU signed a cooperation agreement with Korea's Myongji University. Zhou Xingzeng, chairman of SJQU Group and president of Myongji University Yu Bingchen, are on behalf of the two schools respectively. The two parties reached broad consensus on cooperation in school construction, talents training, and Weiqi teaching, after which they conducted full exchanges and discussions on future cooperation models and areas of cooperation.
The exchanges and cooperation between SJQU and Myongji University were carried out under the backdrop of the warming of relations between China and South Korea. At the 7th Summit of three parties China, Japan and South Korea on May 10th, Prime Minister Li Keqiang proposed that China, Japan and South Korea fully tap the cultural connotations of the three countries, strengthen exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, tourism, media and other fields, promote spiritual exchanges, and expand personnel exchanges. At this time, it coincided with the preparation of the Weiqi professional in our school. After in-depth research, our school met with the Myongji University and quickly received a warm response.
