It not only covers student exchanges but also includes research collaborations, programme development, and industry involvement in supporting the learning process,” he said. Furthermore, Prof JJ conveyed that the results of this agreement are aimed at a significant increase in the number of international students. Chairman of Anhui Fuxin Education Consulting Co Ltd, Sun Xiaoxing, explained that this partnership is designed as an integrated and adaptive model of cross-country educational collaboration to meet global needs.
