President Qin He expressed gratitude for the long-standing support from the Foreign Affairs Office of Jilin Province and introduced the University’s international exchange initiatives and future plans. She emphasized that the University has always taken as its fundamental goal the building of a high-level, quality, non-profit, application-oriented, internationalized foreign language university with distinctive features, and regards internationalization as the core strategy driving the University’s high-quality development. Through the systematic implementation of the “Five Internationalizations” strategic pathway—namely the internationalization of faculty, students, disciplines and curriculum, teaching and research, and campus—the University organically integrates the “Three Alls” education philosophy (fostering students through all-staff, whole-process and all-round education) into the entire process of international exchange and cooperation. It is committed to cultivating high-caliber talents with excellent language proficiency, solid professional competence, and outstanding global competence, and actively serves the national opening-up strategy and the regional development of Jilin Province.
