ZHONG Weihe extended a warm welcome to the delegation and welcomed the Consul-General's visit. Too, he gave a brief introduction to the project including the history and current situation of GDUFS. He mentioned that our university has established cooperation agreements and communications with more than 240 universities worldwide and that there were over 2,000 overseas students from more than 100 countries and regions studying in our school. President ZHONG expressed hope that GDUFS could establish more extensive communications related to technology and education with Pakistan.
Mr. Amin suggested that, by promoting the communication and cooperation between the National University of Modern Languages (in capital city of Pakistan, Islamabad) and GDUFS, it would link the two best language schools in both our countries. The Consul believed that the two schools could exchange students and share information such as library collections and e-books via the Internet. As is the case that a large number of Pakistan students tend to study abroad, he hoped that our school could send experts and professors to Pakistan to establish some equivalent institutes with them and offer degrees and diplomas.
