On May 28, President of Fudan University JIN Li met with Minister of Education of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi at Fudan. The two sides exchanged views on deepening exchanges and cooperation in the field of higher education.
Minister Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi said educational cooperation is an important area of cooperation between the UAE and China. Chinese President Xi Jinping has recently written a reply letter to student representatives of the Hundred Schools Project of Chinese language education in the UAE, encouraging them to master the language and get more knowledge of China, and contribute to promoting friendship between the two countries. The UAE encourages more UAE students to study in China, and more UAE universities to strengthen cooperation with Chinese universities through personnel exchange and research collaboration. The minister particularly welcomes Fudan to deepen research cooperation with UAE in the fields of sustainable development and artificial intelligence.
JIN Li extended a warm welcome to the minister and made a brief introduction to the university. Fudan has long been actively promoting international cooperation and established extensive partnerships around the world through various ways of exchanges and cooperation. Since 2023, Fudan has been developing comprehensive cooperation with the Arab world, as the university signed MoUs with the Association of Arab Universities (AARU) and the Secretariat of the League of Arab States, joined the China-Arab Consortium of Universities Exchange Mechanism and “China-Arab Universities 10+10 Cooperation Plan”, and established partnerships with Ain Shams University, Qatar University, University of Jordan and other top Arab universities. Fudan will give full play to its strengths to carry out academic cooperation with UAE universities in various fields, and welcome outstanding students from the UAE to study at Fudan.
Fudan University Vice President CHEN Zhimin and representatives from UAE’s Ministry of Education, Consulate General of the UAE in Shanghai, United Arab Emirates University, Zayed University, Higher Colleges of Technology, Higher Colleges of Technology, Khalifa University and relevant departments and schools at Fudan University attended the meeting.
