"While our collaboration with universities and research centers in the West continues to grow, we have recently launched a new initiative for the leading universities in Asia. There are many universities in China that surpass the leading universities in Europe and the US in terms of potential, human resources, academic performance and R&D activities, and the number of these institutions is increasing every day. In this regard, I am confident that the signing of such a three-year protocol focusing on academic exchanges and cooperation with Peking University will make a great contribution not only to our universities but also to scientific exchanges between the two countries."
