On April 11, 2025, the "2025 China International Education Exhibition and China Study Abroad Forum" was held at the Beijing National Convention Center. Under the theme of "Quality, Trust, Safety: Sustainable Development of Study Abroad Education," this year's forum attracted nearly a thousand participants from over 30 countries and regions worldwide.
As a key segment of the forum, the "Study in China and the World" seminar focused on international student mobility and educational cooperation. International student representatives from our university—Shin Moonsub (South Korea), Huang Chin (Thailand), and Romashova Anastasiia (Russia)—were invited to attend. They shared their study abroad experiences and engaged in discussions with other international students and education experts on the future direction of study abroad education.
The opening ceremony of the 2025 "Study in China" Forum highlighted the diverse value of studying in China through the personal stories of five distinguished international guests. Their real-life experiences showcased the multifaceted impact of education in China:
Through their journeys, the forum illustrated how studying in China fosters cultural exchange, academic innovation, and professional growth.

他们用音乐、艺术、教育和科技搭建起文明互鉴的桥梁，共同诠释了"思想无界，求索不息"的论坛精神。申文燮带领合唱团演绎阿卡贝拉《茉莉花》、多语种合唱《You Raise Me Up》原创作品《春日来信》，整场开幕式以"让我们跨越山海，彼此滋养，共筑人类文明的殿堂"的合诵作结，通过人物故事与艺术表演的有机结合，生动展现了留学经历如何促进跨文化交流与人类共同发展。
They built bridges of mutual learning among civilizations through music, art, education, and technology, collectively embodying the forum's spirit of "Boundless Thinking, Unending Exploration."
Shin Moonsub led the choir in performances including an a cappella rendition of Jasmine Flower, a multilingual choral version of You Raise Me Up, and the original piece Spring Letter. The opening ceremony concluded with a collective recitation: "Let us traverse mountains and seas, nourish one another, and together build the palace of human civilization."
By seamlessly weaving personal narratives with artistic performances, the event vividly demonstrated how study abroad experiences foster cross-cultural exchange and contribute to the shared progress of humanity.

During the event, international students from our university participated in organizing the reception banquet for the 2025 China International Education Exhibition Tour. This initiative provided an important platform for international students in China to showcase their talents and facilitated academic exchange between Chinese and foreign institutions. It also served as recognition of our university's achievements in international student education.
Taking this opportunity, our university will continue to deepen the development of international education programs, further enhance our global education standards, and contribute to promoting the "Study in China" brand. We remain committed to cultivating more high-quality international talents who understand and befriend China, while making greater contributions to sharing China's stories and promoting mutual learning among civilizations.
The China International Education Exhibition Tour, established in 1999, and the China Study Abroad Forum, initiated in 2004, are dedicated to serving national strategies and advancing the development of education and a talent-strong nation. With a commitment to promoting high-quality growth in study abroad initiatives, enhancing international exchange and cooperation, and deepening people-to-people diplomacy, these platforms have, through years of persistent practice and accumulation, become vital fronts for outbound study and safe overseas education. They also serve as important windows to showcase inbound education and key platforms for fostering friendly exchanges between Chinese and foreign education and culture. These efforts have attracted significant attention and enthusiastic responses from various sectors both domestically and internationally.
Following the forum, the 2025 (30th) China International Education Exhibition Tour officially kicked off. In addition to Beijing, the exhibition was held in three other cities: Shanghai, Wuhan, and Guangzhou.
Beyond traditional study-abroad destinations, this year’s event also attracted institutions from emerging destinations such as Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Hungary, Poland, and Vietnam. Notably, universities from Vietnam and Ecuador made their debut at the exhibition.
