Wei Limin mentioned that the development of cooperation with Ukrainian educational institutions is an important part of friendly cooperation between Ukraine and China. It is necessary to accelerate the effective implementation of bilateral projects, to unite efforts to train highly qualified specialists of international level.
Since its inception, the center has paid great attention to maintaining an appropriate level of communication with partner universities and educational institutions in Ukraine and China. This year, due to the epidemic, offline visits have been changed to the format of online video conferencing. However, given the increase in areas of mutual interest, as well as the expansion of opportunities for operational communication and information exchange, this format of meetings has had a positive influence on the development of Ukrainian-Chinese educational cooperation, supplemented channels and enriched resources for Ukrainian and Chinese students studying abroad.
