Fudan University forges Southeast Asian partnerships
Fudan University has signed agreements on a slew of strategic partnerships with Southeast Asian education institutions and government agencies in January to bolster the Belt and Road Initiative through academic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.
The Shanghai-based university signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Social Sciences and Humanities of Vietnam National University, Hanoi, pledging to conduct joint research and strengthen collaboration on faculty and student communication, lectures and meetings, and academic publications.
The duo also agreed to enhance youth exchanges in countries in the Lancang-Mekong region and promote cultural and heritage preservation, a substantial step toward implementing the Belt and Road Initiative.
