On 30 November, LEE Seung-Ryul, the Chairman of the Northeast Asian Community Studies Institute and Vice President of the Yanbian University of Science & Technology visited the Secretariat to meet with Secretary General Kim and discuss ways to enhance friendship and cooperation between the two organizations and contribute to the development of Northeast Asia through partnership in such areas as international education, culture, sciences and industry-academia collaboration. In particular, it was suggested that both parties could come up with joint projects for student exchange, nurturing industrial human resources, social welfare, agricultural support and academic studies on the vision of Northeast Asian cooperation.

 

The Yanbian University of Science & Technology (YUST) was founded in September 1992 in Yanji City, Jilin Province (China) for the purpose of training leaders in China and Northeast Asia for the Pacific Era and producing talented Korean-Chinese through advanced science and technology education, thereby contributing to Korea-China cooperation, the Korean Community in China and to the future of a unified Korea. It is China’s first Chinese-foreign joint university and the first university for Korean nationals living abroad. Based on the dedicated support by numerous sponsors in 15 countries including Korea, the U.S. and European countries, YUST established itself as a leading educational institution for advanced science & technology in China and a cultural, educational bridge between China and Korea, designated as one of the National Key Universities by the Chinese Government.
