The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) attaches great importance to
strengthening comprehensive academic exchanges and communication with the
University of Cambridge, said a CASS delegation which is on a visit in
London.
Accompanied by Dr Kate Pretty, pro-vice-chancellor of the University
of Cambridge, Li Shenming, vice president of CASS, said yesterday that he was
impressed by the University's deep human culture and beautiful scenery, adding
that both sides conducted effective exchanges and communication during the
visit.
He said the world has entered an era of economic globalization and
cultural diversification and it is necessary to continuously conduct cultural
exchanges and learn from each other.
All-round academic cooperation between
CASS and the University of Cambridge is of vital significance, he
added.
Pretty said the University of Cambridge has academic cooperation with
many of China's famous universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua
University.
It was important to build up a mechanism for developing regular
academic cooperation with Chinese partners, Pretty said, adding that she
expected to reap the rewards from the coming visit to China in August this
year.
CASS was established in May 1977. So far, it has communication ties
with over 200 foreign research institutes, academic groups, universities and
funds. In addition, it has exchange agreements with more than 20 countries and
regions.
