The university has relationships with over 300 partners and has welcomed many international students, with Chinese students making up the majority. The Vice Rector expressed hope that the two universities could soon implement cooperation through activities such as student and faculty exchanges; co-organizing scientific conferences; and conducting joint research.

In response, Professor Li Xiaobing expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
