On December 6th, the 2021 International Students Recognition Ceremony was held at Renmin University of China (RUC). The event was hosted by Merna Ghassan Abdel Rahman, 2020 Jordanian graduate student from the School of Law. Prof. Du Peng, Vice President of RUC, delivered a speech. Leaders from different administrative offices attended the ceremony and awarded the students.

A total of 146 international students received various awards from the Chinese government, Beijing Municipal Government and Renmin University of China.

Student representatives Tomomi Kobayashi (Japanese) and Kim Hyung-soo (Korean) said in their acceptance speech that they not only gained knowledge but also met many excellent teachers and friends during their stay at RUC. The awards are regarded not only as an encouragement, but also a momentum to go forward.

Vice President Prof. Du Peng then congratulated the award-winning students. He highly praised all the international students for overcoming the great difficulties of Covid-19 to pursue their study in China. He hoped that the students can become ambassadors of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, and contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
