Educational opening-up helps foster talent, enhance economic confidence

Amid global geopolitical uncertainties, opening-up in education is not merely about academic exchanges among nations and cultures, but is a strategic imperative to bolster high-quality economic development and build a community with a shared future for humanity, Zhang Donggang, Party secretary of Renmin University of China, said.

Zhang said that by increasingly choosing to "study in China", "shop in China" and "travel in China", international students are casting a strong vote of confidence for the country's economic resilience, vibrant innovation and vast market opportunities.

In an exclusive interview with China Daily, Zhang highlighted how international educational cooperation serves as a vital bridge for mutual understanding, with Renmin University of China strategically deepening such ties to cultivate global talent and build enduring cross-cultural trust.
