Professor Wang Xiqin, Executive Vice President of Tsinghua University (Tsinghua) led a 3-member delegation to visit The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) on 3 October. The delegates met with Professor Fok Tai-fai, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of CUHK; Ms. Lavender CHEUNG, Director of Communications and Public Relation;and Ms Wing Wong, Director of Academic Links (China) for exchange.
During the meeting, representatives of the two universities received updates on the overall developments of the universities, sharing experience in administration and management framework, and organization of major events. They exchanged ideas on further directions concerning the collaboration growth. The delegation next toured the CUHK campus to know more about the university.
The collaborative relationship between CUHK and Tsinghua could be dated back to the establishment of partnership as early as in 1985, after which both sides have been marking efforts to enhance linkages in fields ranging from teaching and research, to student and executive interflow, yielding far-reaching results. Both universities have successfully launched a joint MBA programme in Finance, established the Joint Research Center for Chinese Economy, and co-organised the World Philanthropy Forum. The two universities are planning a Master programme to nurture talents together.
