Ajou University and China's Rizhao City agreed to pursue extensive cooperation, including on education. Rizhao City, which is located in Shandong Province, China, is geographically close to South Korea and is seeking to build a close relationship with Ajou University.

Ajou University President Hyung Ju Park joined Rizhao City Mayor Li Yonghong for a signboard hanging ceremony for a preliminary class that will enter Ajou during his 3-day visit to Rizhao from May 28th. Mayor Li graduated from the University's Graduate School of International Studies in 2001.

Ajou also signed agreements on exchanges with Shandong Foreign Languages Vocational College and Haiqu High School with the help of the Rizhao City government, which is expected to help the University attract Chinese students. 

President Park said, "We need to foster global talents who are proficient in foreign languages and have in-depth knowledge in specific areas of expertise," adding, "I ask for your cooperation in attracting Chinese students to Ajou University." Principal Gaoyuebo of Haiqu High School replied, "I will make every effort to recommend talented students to study at Ajou."

Meanwhile, Rizhao City Mayor Li invited President Park and other officials from Ajou to an event in October to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Rizhao becoming a city. He suggested that the two sides discuss the establishment of an industry-academia research institute during the proposed meeting.
