Consul General Fu, in his keynote speech, expressed that over the past six years, the Fudan Forum has brought together representatives from academia, business and the local Chinese community. It has grown into an important platform on Canada’s West Coast for exchanges of ideas, information sharing and partnership-building, and serves as a valuable vehicle for China’s higher education to go global and expand international influence.

Mr. Fu noted that at the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan, China has demonstrated strong resilience and vitality in its development, amid a complex and volatile international environment. He hoped that the Forum and alumni of Chinese universities will continue to act as a bridge connecting the peoples of China and Canada, and leverage their strengths and extensive networks to better serve the development of the China-Canada new strategic partnership.
