On the afternoon of October 26, 2023, Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Committee of Hebei University (HBU) Guo Jian met the president of the National University of Quilmes (NUQ) Alfredo Alfonso, and expressed his welcome to the visit of Alfredo Alfonso and his delegation.

Alfredo Alfonso emphasized that the two universities have conducted fruitful cooperation, hoping that the two could take the visit and the signing of cooperation agreements as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation in various fields and to deepen international exchanges and cooperation into a new level.

During the visit, school leaders of the two universities jointly signed five cooperation agreements in various fields such as scientific research and life sciences. Meanwhile, heated discussions over the details of cooperation were held with relevant heads of agencies, experts, and scholars.

Martin Rozengart, the Head of the International Division of the NUQ, and the Director of International Organizations, Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also accompanied to visit HBU. Besides, members from Foreign Affairs Office of the People’s Government of Hebei Province, P.R.C.
