He said XJTU is dedicated to enhancing students' international perspectives and responsibilities by providing them with abundant policy and resource support.

Furthermore, he hoped that by establishing cooperation with ITCILO, more resources and opportunities could be offered to students and faculty at XJTU.

Andreas Klemmer provided an overview of ITCILO. Through this visit, he hoped to deepen collaboration with XJTU, explore innovative models for integrating resources, platforms, and channels, and become a more closely connected global partner.

On that afternoon, a lecture titled "The Social Dimensions of Sustainable Development: Accelerating Positive Change with the International Labour Organization" was held, with over 100 faculty and students participating.

Since 2019, nearly 200 outstanding students from XJTU have participated in exchange and training programs organized by ITCILO, both online and offline.
