On December 26, 2022, Director Mishima (Vice President) of the Center for Promotion of International Exchange visited the Vice Consul General of the Consulate General of China in Fukuoka. Consul Attaché Ke Wei and Consul for Education Xin Ying were present during the visit.

During the visit, Vice President Mishima thanked Consul for Education Xin Ying for his address to both universities at the online signing ceremony between Saga University and Guizhou Minzu University held on December 19 of the same year and handed a letter of appreciation from Saga University President Kodama. Vice Consul General Cheng Yan informed that Saga University and Guizhou Minzu University in Guizhou Province are accelerating academic exchanges based on the long-standing Japan-China inter-regional exchanges between Saga Prefecture and Guizhou Province since 1999, and that the Consulate General of China in Fukuoka would like to cooperate with such a model academic exchange between Japan and China.

The year 2022 also marks the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China. In this context, it is hoped that this visit and others will be an opportunity to promote friendship and mutual understanding among a new generation through the promotion of academic exchange between the two countries’ universities.
