On Tuesday, May 28, Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) President Li Yangsong and three accompanying members paid a courtesy visit to Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) President Takahiro Ono. KUFS and SISU signed an international exchange agreement in 1984 and have been highly proactive in sending teachers and students between the two institutions over the years.

The visit aimed to further deepen the bonds cultivated with KUFS while discussing new possibilities for the exchange activities in question. Ms. Li stated, "In addition to student and teacher exchanges, we wish to pursue further exchanges in the area of academic research." SISU has incorporated data science and humanities studies into their education program. Ms. Li noted the many commonalities between the two foreign language universities, remarking, "In addition to traditional language learning, we must expand and improve the education we provide to meet the needs of the current times."

The pleasant conversation and exchanges continued, with Ms. Li adding an invitation: "We will mark the 75th anniversary of SISU's founding this year, with the main event scheduled for December. I hope that KUFS members will come and join our celebration."
