On April 28, Saga University received a courtesy call on the university president by five people, including Consul General of China in Fukuoka, Lu Guijun, Consul Dang Zhisheng, Vice Consul Xin Ying, and Vice Consul Xu Shuntao.

Currently, our university has academic exchange agreements with 12 universities in Guizhou, and through academic exchange, we are improving our educational and research capabilities and deepening mutual understanding with a view to the future. Last year, Mr. Xin Ying, Vice Consul for Education, delivered a speech to both universities at the signing ceremony of the academic exchange agreement with Guizhou Minzu University, and the visit was realized with the aim of further developing the relationship between our university and other universities in China.

After a welcoming speech by President Kodama, Consul General Lu Guijun expressed the Consulate General’s continued support for the continuation of friendly relations between the two institutions. Afterwards, President Kodama presented a decorative Arita-yaki porcelain pot as a commemorative gift, and after a commemorative photo session, the courtesy visit ended in a friendly atmosphere.

The group then toured the facilities of the Faculty of Agriculture, where Dean Suzuki, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, explained the unique initiatives of the university, and had a discussion with the officials of the Faculty of Agriculture. At the end of the visit, they had a friendly discussion in their native language with the foreign students and the president of the Saga Prefecture Japan-China Friendship Association, Mr. Shinozuka.

The university hopes that this visit will lead to further development of academic exchanges between the university and universities in the country, as well as the promotion of friendship and mutual understanding in the Saga region.
