President Wang also hoped to further enhance collaboration on research and establish a China-Georgia-Caucasian States research center under the B&R initiative.

Ambassador Aptsiauri expressed his thanks to President Wang and spoke highly of the level of UIBE's internationalization. On the back of the visit of Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili to UIBE in 2015, cooperation is growing steadily.

Currently, nearly 20 Georgian students are studying in UIBE. Aptsiauri gave his backing to promote further integration between the universities to gain mutual benefits and cultivate more talents to serve the B&R.
