A delegation from VSUES headed by Tatyana Terenteva, the first vice-president of VSUES, paid an official visit to the Changchun University situated in the Jilin province, China. The visit took place from February 12th through February 15th and was devoted to negotiations regarding foundation of a joint international college in China.

At present it consists of 12 institutes and 36 departments (engineering, computer technologies, economics, management, etc.) with a total enrollment of 13000 full-time attendance students. The Changchun university has been recognized as one of the leading higher-education institutions in China and its president Kang Jishan has been awarded the title of “One of ten most outstanding educational leaders of China”.
The administration of the Changchun University has initiated a project on the establishment of a joint international college of the North-Eastern Asia and offered VSUES to become its partner. The educational programs, techniques and standards of VSUES and the Changchun University will be combined and applied in the joint institution. It is planned to be located in Hunchun (the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin province, China). The new institution will enroll 1000 students annually and will train highly-qualified international standard specialists.
The negotiations were led by the former president of the Changchun University Kang Jishan and the current president Kang Tsipen who explained the importance of the mutual contribution to the project and its value to both the universities.
Tatyana Terenteva, the first vice-president of VSUES, confirmed that the Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service agreed to contribute to the establishment of a joint international college and its partnership with the Changchun University:
- The administration of the Jilin province and its economical, education, culture and sports departments are active and reliable partners to their counterparts in the Primorsky Krai. In order to maintain this beneficial cooperation both sides seek highly-qualified specialists in the relevant fields. The VSUES administration pays great attention to the quality of training its students and therefore it will contribute its best knowledge and experience to the joint project initiated by the Changchun University. This joint college will become a higher-education institution of the international standard and its graduates will be able to make a major contribution to growth and prosperity of both Russia and China.
By the end of the meeting both sides agreed that all the documents necessary for the establishment of a joint international college would be prepared and signed in the earliest possible timeframe.
