On behalf of Beihang, President Xu Huibin extended a warm welcome to President Chansou and expressed his appreciation for all efforts made by ENAC in establishing the new university. Following that, President Xu made a thorough introduction to the latest progress in cooperation with Hangzhou government. He also expressed his willingness to promote all-round cooperation with ENAC. Taking advantage of the superior resources of the two universities, Beihang and ENAC would work hard to build the Sino-French University of Aeronautics into a world-class institution of higher education, cultivating more high-level talents in aeronautics and civil aviation.
