Professor Song welcomed the guests from Cardiff University on behalf of Xiamen University Law School and introduced the School’s history, disciplines, academic programs and international cooperation. Professor René Lindstädt then gave introduction of Cardiff University Law School and proposed suggestions of the possible collaboration ways.
Professor Song Fangqing said that two PhD candidates would visit Cardiff as visiting scholar which she believed would be a good start of collaboration between two schools. Xiamen and Cardiff are two sister cities while Xiamen University and Cardiff University remain intensive cooperation. The two law schools also have a good match in many ways. Professor Song believed that the two law schools would witness good prospect of cooperation.
