A delegation of students from Zhejiang Sci-Tech University visited the campus of the University of Mauritius, 22nd-24th Aug 2017.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Jhurry, the Pro-Vice Chancellor of Academia, Professor Sobhee and representatives of Registrar’s Office met the students in the conference room. The VC gave a warm welcome speech and said that the students’ visit to UoM is the first exchange of students between the two universities. He hopes that the visit opens the door to further cooperation between the two universities. He wished the students from ZSTU an enjoyable stay in Mauritius.
The students were led by Miss Jin Xiannyu, Academic Staff at ZSTU, and were accompanied by ten students from UoM during their time at the University of Mauritius. The students of ZSTU experienced different aspects of life in Mauritius.
Trips to China Town, Chinese Middle School, National Museum of Aapravasi Ghat, Centre for Biomedical and Biomaterials Research, EON Reality Mauritius Ltd, and Sugar Museum were organized by CI-UoM. The students showed great interest in the local culture. What impressed them most was the inter-mix of different cultures in Mauritius. This is what Confucius Institute tries to advocate - harmonious society.
The Ambassador of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China, His Excellency Mr Sun Gongyi, welcomed the students of the two universities. He advised that young students should do their best to promote the friendship between the two countries and be the ambassadors to disseminate friendship among people of the two countries.
Before the Chinese students left, students from the two universities exchanged gifts with each other as a token of their friendship. They hope that they can meet again next year, this time in China!
