About 45 representatives from more than 40 foreign embassies in China, including those from the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, and Japan, attended a reception April 28 to mark the 95th anniversary of Tsinghua University.
Tsinghua President Gu Binglin delivered the welcoming speech at the event, held in the main building. He noted that when looking back over the history of the university, it is clear that Tsinghua’s development is closely related to international cooperation.
“I would like to call on our friends for your continuous attention and assistance for the future cooperation and exchanges with our university,” President Gu said.
Tsinghua Vice President Gong Ke gave an outline of the university’s education, research and international cooperation.
Also attending the reception were Tsinghua vice presidents Hu Heping and Chen Jining, and representatives from the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Science and Technology, and State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs.
