On March 20, Zheng Yali, Vice President of ZUFE, met with the visiting delegation led by Christophe Boissau, President of the ESCE International Business School in Paris, France, and signed a collaboration memorandum as well as agreements on student exchanges and joint dual-degree training programs between the two institutions. Heads of the International Office and the School of International Education and Studies participated in this activity.

Zheng Yali warmly welcomed the visiting guests and introduced the recent developments of our university and its achievements in international education. She expressed that the academic disciplines and specialties of the two institutions are highly compatible. Given that this year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, she hopes that both sides will take this signing as an opportunity to accelerate student exchanges and joint dual-degree training programs, and to carry out pragmatic cooperation in the fields of talent cultivation, faculty visits, and academic exchanges.

Christophe Boissau stated that the ESCE International Business School attaches great importance to establishing friendly and cooperative relations with Chinese universities. He looks forward to the two institutions providing more exchange platforms for teachers and students in the future, and cultivating more professional talents for the economic and trade cooperation between China and France.

Established in 1968, the ESCE International Business School is a highly elite business school accredited by the French Ministry of Education. It ranks 3rd among all French higher business schools in comprehensive rankings and 2nd in internationalization, having established cooperative relationships with over 90 institutions in 36 countries and regions.
