The most important mission of Chinese diplomats is to safeguard China's sovereignty, security and development interests, and promote the understanding and friendship between China and other countries. In addition, Mr. Shi introduced the German craftsman spirit characterized by persistence, concentration, preciseness and creativity, and said that the craftsman spirit passed down from generation to generation benefits from the vocational education culture that has been cultivated for hundreds of years and the high-quality dual system of vocational education, which makes today's "Made in Germany" a synonym for safety, reliability, excellence and durability. In the interactive question session, Mr. Shi pointed out that German vocational education system is characterized by the high teaching quality, the enterprise-oriented education model, and the close connection between industrial research and school teaching. He called on enterprises to pursue the craftsman spirit of continuous innovation and continuous improvement, and sent a message that universities should actively deliver professional and technical talents based on the emerging industries for national development.
Dean Chen Fangruo made a summary of the event. He pointed out that business exchanges and economic cooperation are the basis of international cooperation, and Antai College of Economics & Management should help promote international exchanges and cooperation by strengthening research in this field; in addition, learning from the experience of vocational education in Germany, China should also attach importance to vocational and technical education and fundamental research. Antai College of Economics & Management should regard the research on the needs of enterprises and industries for talents as an important direction of industry research, as well as a tie to connect higher education institutions with vocational education.
