From October 2 to 8, Su Zhiwu with the delegation from CUC (the Communication University of China) visited Egypt s University of Science and Technology and Rhodes University in South Africa and other colleges and universities, which wrapped up with several cooperation agreements.
Currently our school has set up cooperation and exchange relations with a number of foreign universities, but not with those from the Middle East and African countries. This trip is an important pioneering journey.
Egypt s University of Science and Technology and Rhodes University in South Africa topped his agenda
During his visit to the University of Science and Technology in Egypt, Mr. Su received warm welcome from its Chancellor and other school leaders. The both sides conducted in-depth talks on such issues as exchanges of students and teachers, Foreign Language Teaching and so on. After the talks, the president showed CUC s delegation around the School of Journalism and Movies.
Mr. Su signed a comprehensive agreement of cooperation and exchanges between the two universities with his counterpart. Both decided to carry out substantive cooperation in many fields. Rhodes University is renowned for its news media education in Africa. This visit further quickened the process of becoming a world-renowned media university.
