On October 25th, a delegation of six members from RANEPA, led by Natalia Shafenskaya, Director of the International Cooperation and Development, held a work meeting with our institute.

Vice President Li Yunchi attended the formal meeting between the two sides. Firstly, Li Yunchi gave a brief introduction of our institute to the Russian side, and then informed the Russian side of the progress of cooperation with the two branches under the General Institute. Our institute has maintained cooperation with the Northwest Branch for 19 years, and has also cooperated with the Vladimir Branch for nearly 10 years. We have carried out various forms of cooperation with these two branches, such as high-level delegation projects, exchange student projects, guest professor projects, and international scientific research cooperation projects, and have achieved fruitful academic results.

Director Natalia Shafenskaya introduced the basic situation of their Academy to us through a video clip, and the accompanying five members of the delegation put forward specific suggestions for cooperation between the two sides. Professor Hong Xiaoliang, Director of the Graduate Department, and Associate Professor Yang Ni, Deputy Director of the faculty of Public Management, respectively responded positively to the concerns of the Russian side. The interaction and communication between both parties are pragmatic and efficient.

Finally, Li Yunchi stated that both sides have a very mature model in exchange student programs, teacher exchange programs, research project cooperation, and joint publication of papers, which can continue to be promoted on the basis of the existing cooperation model. In addition, both sides also conducted preliminary discussions on the exchange of high-level leading cadres for foreign-related training.
