On August 5th, Consul-General Dr RUAN Zongze paid a courtesy call to Prof. Margaret Sheil AO, the Vice-Chancellor and President of the Queensland University of Technology.

Dr RUAN said, the Queensland University of Technology worked closely with the Chinese universities and research institutions and had played a positive role in the educational and scientific collaboration between China and Australia. As the first Confucius Institute founded in Queensland, CIQ had made significant contributions to the exchanges and mutual understanding between the young generation of the two countries. The Consulate-General is willing to strengthen the communication with QUT, to push forward the cooperation and achieve mutual benefit and win-win.

Prof. Sheil AO warmly welcomed the Consul-General Dr RUAN to visit QUT, and said that she was looking forward to continuing to carry out the joint teaching and research projects with China and the promoting the exchanges of students.

Prof. Scott Sheppard, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President, for International and External Relations, was in attendance at the meeting.
