ACC Secretary-General Visited Guangxi University

On 3 June 2016, H.E. Mme. Yang Xiuping, Secretary-General of the ASEAN-China Centre (ACC) visited Guangxi University, and met with Mr. Liu Zhengdong, Vice Chairman of the China People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Guangxi Committee and Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Guangxi University Committee, as well as scholars of the ASEAN-China Research Institute of Guangxi University.

Mr. Liu Zhengdong highly appraised ACC’s work in promoting ASEAN-China educational exchange and cooperation. He said that Guangxi University paid high attention to cooperation with educational organs and think tanks of ASEAN countries. By making full use of the platforms including China-ASEAN Collaborative Innovation Center for Regional Development and China-ASEAN Research Institute, Guangxi University would step up its research in ASEAN in order to make greater contribution to Guangxi-ASEAN cooperation. He expected continuous assistance and support from ACC in this respect.

Secretary-General Yang gave a brief introduction on ACC’s efforts to promote ASEAN-China educational cooperation. She noted that ACC would take advantage of the ASEAN-China Educational Exchange Year and organize 4 flagship projects in education this year. ACC was in the position to facilitate communication between Guangxi University and its ASEAN counterparts and jointly promote cooperation and exchange in research, youth and student activities, with a view to promoting the continuous development of education cooperation between ASEAN and China.
