To further advance open education and optimize the global cooperation landscape, Vice President Sang Shengbo visited the Embassy of Uruguay in Beijing on October 24th. He held talks with Mariana Seoane, Vice Rector of the University of the Republic of Uruguay (Udelar), and formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding between TYUT and Udelar.
During the talks, Sang reviewed the progress of cooperation since TYUT’s representatives visited the Embassy in April and June of this year, expressing gratitude for the Embassy’s support in promoting exchanges and cooperation between TYUT and Uruguayan institutions. Subsequently, Sang provided a detailed introduction to the Udelar delegation about TYUT’s history, disciplinary strengths, international cooperation, and cultural exchanges. He expressed the hope to enhance mutual understanding and expand teaching and research cooperation in areas such as low-carbon energy and information technology through student exchanges, credit recognition, sports-cultural activities, and other exchange programs. Quoting the saying, “No mountain or ocean can distance people who have shared aspirations,” he conveyed his aspirations for the broad and promising collaboration between the two universities.
