He noted that RUC is a comprehensive research university that focusses particularly on the humanities and social sciences, and has for a long time maintained a close relationship based on collaboration and exchange with Hitotsubashi University – especially in the fields of law, economics, and commerce. RUC has many teaching staff who are alumni of Hitotsubashi University, which has created a firm academic foundation for collaboration between the two universities. Both Universities are part of the SIGMA university programme, which helps greatly facilitate collaboration. He concluded by affirming RUC’s commitment to maintaining its relationship with Hitotsubashi University, in order to deepen research collaboration and staff and student exchanges.
Vice President ZHONG then expressed thanks to RUC. He noted that RUC and Hitotsubashi University both are strong in the fields of humanities and social sciences, with a long history of friendship.
