On October 18, 2023, the Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation commenced its proceedings. Over the course of a decade, spanning from 2013 to 2023, China has inked cooperation agreements for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with more than 150 nations and over 30 international organizations from Asia and Europe to Africa and Latin America. Throughout the past decade, DHU, leveraging its profound academic expertise and global perspective, ardently engaged in international collaboration with the BRI.
DHU closely focuses on talent cultivation in the textile industry, building international platforms, conducting research on BRI cooperation, and promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. In addition, the university has established extensive cooperative relationships with universities and research institutions in many countries and regions around the world, forming a complete network of international exchange and cooperation.
DHU actively enrolls and cultivates international students, providing them with a platform for learning and growing. Currently, the university has 1,614 international students from 87 countries participating in the BRI. They have gained rich academic and life experience at DHU while also making positive contributions to the implementation of the BRI. The university has cooperated with Moi University in Kenya to develop talents, integrate Chinese language teaching into higher education curricula, respond to local industry development needs, and establish professional courses from disciplines with strong backgrounds as well as an education quality index system.
