ZHONG Weihe talking with Felix Matos Rodriguez

ZHONG Weihe gave a brief introduction of our development status and our characteristics of running a school[This is accurate linguistically, but doesn’t make sense to me in terms of the meaning of the sentence. I recommend looking back at the original, and seeing if you can produce a more contextually meaningful sentence.]. In addition, he reviewed some implemented cooperation between the two universities in various fields. The cooperation includes an exchange program and exchanges of teaching faculty members. He also expressed the wish to explore new fields of cooperation, to build the Confucius Institute with Queens College CUNY, and to promote the exchanges and cooperation in the areas of culture and education.
