Recently,  upon the review and approval by the Secretariat of the South &  Southeast Asian University Network (S&SE Asian UN), our university  has officially become a member of the Network.

The  South and Southeast Asian University Network, also known as SSE ASIAN  UN, is a higher education regional international cooperation mechanism  approved by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Education and filed in  the International Department of the Ministry of Education, and initiated  by Yunnan University (YNU) in Kunming, Yunnan province in December  2018. The secretariat of S&SE ASIAN UN is permanently located at  YNU. SSE ASIAN UN aims to further enhance the humanities exchanges and  people-to-people bonds between China and South Asian and Southeast Asian  countries, establish a platform for regional higher education exchanges  and cooperation, as well as build a regional higher education  community. To date, more than 120 Chinese and foreign universities have  participated in the activities of S&SE ASIAN UN, including 75 South  and Southeast Asian universities from countries like Pakistan, Cambodia,  Laos, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand,  Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam.

Our  university's membership in S&SE ASIAN UN is a significant move in  response to the national “Belt and Road” initiative, which will deepen  practical cooperation between China and countries in South and Southeast  Asia in the new era. By joining hands with S&SE ASIAN UN  universities, we aim to foster global-oriented individuals who can  effectively communicate the Chinese story and serve as ambassadors of  friendship. By participating in activities such as the South and  Southeast Asian education cooperation forum and international cultural  exchange seminars organized by the Network, our university will have new  opportunities for the development of international education. These  engagements hold significant importance in promoting cultural exchange  and educational cooperation between our university and countries in  South and Southeast Asia along the “Belt and Road”.
