Kolchanov (academician of RAS and Director of SB RAS), and Prof. Aleksey Okunev (vice president of NSU).

Russia and China are big nations in science and education. Both countries are friendly neighbors and have good foundation for and enjoy a long history in scientific, technological and cultural cooperation and exchanges. HZAU is an influential multi-disciplinary university with agricultural science as its advantageous discipline and life science as its feature. In the new era, HZAU will further improve its governance and promote its international influence through international cooperation and exchanges. The visit to Russia is intended for implementing China’s “One Belt and One Road” strategic policy and broadening bilateral cooperation channels so that both sides can achieve win-win cooperation and make complementary advantages in both education and technology.
