The China-ASEAN International Forum on Vocational Education and the Exhibition of the Special Cooperation Project were held in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province from July 22 to 23. We were invited to participate in this forum with nearly 1,000 representatives from the education administration departments, vocational colleges and enterprises of China and ASEAN countries.
The forum is co-sponsored by China Association for International Exchange of Education, China-ASEAN Center and Jiangxi Provincial Education Department. The theme of the forum is Demonstration and Leading, Deepening Cooperation. It consists of three parts: the forum, the exhibition of achievements and the vocational education project fair of China-ASEAN Silk Road College. The purpose of the forum is to adopt the Cooperation Flagship Plan of China-ASEAN Double-hundred vocational colleges and to establish a deep, multi-form, substantive and institutionalized cooperation platform between China and ASEAN countries in the field of vocational education.
At the ASEAN College Fair, we had friendly exchanges with Nakhon Ratchasima College of Business Administration and Tourism in Thailand, Regional Polytechnic Institute Siem Reap in Cambodia, etc. We held in-depth talks on teacher-student exchanges, cultural experiences and other projects, and signed a memorandum of cooperation on the spot. They agreed to promote specific cooperation projects in subsequent exchanges of visits and further establish a stable long-term exchange relationship. This is also an important attempt for us to actively participate in the construction of the Belt and Road , promote cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, and continuously enhance the international influence of our college.
