Exchanges between FAFU and Delegation of New Zealand Consulate General
On behalf of the university, Zheng expressed welcomes to visitors and gave a brief introduction to FAFU and its cooperation with colleges and universities, as well as scientific institutions in New Zealand. Thanks to the seven cooperation agreements signed by two governments this year, the cooperation developed along the right lines. It was hoped that Consulate General of New Zealand in Guangzhou could support the cooperation, especially in terms of jointly-run schools, research cooperation and achievement transformation on the master-doctor level.
After expressing her gratitude to FAFU for its hospitality, Ms. Rachel Crump gave a brief introduction to the Consulate General of New Zealand in Guangzhou and highlighted its willingness to further China-New Zealand cooperation in agroforestry and higher education. Therefore, the consulate will encourage more colleges, universities and scientific institutions in agriculture and forestry from New Zealand to carry out practical cooperation with FAFU.
The delegation then entered into discussions with RCSPIC after being acquainted with its profile.
