The Belt and Road Initiative has opened new channels for Central Asian exchanges, with more international students becoming cultural ambassadors between China and Central Asia, said Wang Jinfu, president of the university.

"We are committed to creating a warm and friendly learning environment for Central Asian students, helping them succeed in China and become links connecting China and the world," he said.

Guided by the BRI, the university prioritizes training Central Asian students as a core international strategy.

With its International Education College, the university has developed a unique talent cultivation model.

To introduce traditional Chinese culture to international students, the university explores Shaanxi's intangible cultural heritage, developing hands-on experience programs in tai chi, tea picking, rattan weaving, Dun embroidery and traditional papermaking.

"We hope these cultural projects help students step beyond the classroom to see China from a more vivid, authentic perspective, deepening their understanding and recognition of Chinese culture as they experience China's social development," Wang said.
