2023年7月7日，上海合作組織國家多功能經(jīng)貿(mào)平臺高等教育工作委員會（以下簡稱：高等教育工作委員會）在渝成立，由56所重慶高等院校共同發(fā)起，旨在推動重慶高等教育與上合組織國家間高質(zhì)量合作，促進行業(yè)成果轉(zhuǎn)化、國際經(jīng)貿(mào)發(fā)展和人文交流互鑒，進一步提升重慶高等教育對外開放水平。

近日，高等教育工作委員會第一屆理事長、重慶外語外事學(xué)院黨委副書記、校長李克勇接受《重慶與世界》專訪時表示，將充分利用重慶作為“一帶一路”戰(zhàn)略支點的地利優(yōu)勢，帶領(lǐng)全體成員單位率先推動在渝高校的國際化建設(shè)，努力打造上合及“一帶一路”教育國際合作交流的“重慶名片”，將高等教育工作委員會建設(shè)成為中國及上合組織國家教育鏈、人才鏈、產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈、創(chuàng)新鏈融合發(fā)展的重要平臺。

“隨著全球化進程的加速，國際合作顯得愈來愈重要，國際化人才培養(yǎng)的重要性日益凸顯。”李克勇表示，打造上合高校教育國際合作交流的“重慶名片”，首先需要將中國高等教育國際化人才培養(yǎng)的“供給側(cè)”與上合組織國家的“需求側(cè)”有效結(jié)合起來，這就需要大量培養(yǎng)具有國際視野、精通國際語言的各類專業(yè)人才，這也是各高校一直努力思考并實踐的課題。

Higher Education Working Committee of the Trade and Economic Multifunctional Platform for SCO Countries：

Infusing Wisdom of Higher Education into Fruitful BRI Cooperation

By Liu Dingrui/The World and Chongqing

On July 7， 2023， the Higher Education Working Committee of the Trade and Economic Multifunctional Platform for SCO Countries （the Higher Education Working Committee） was inaugurated in Chongqing. The Committee was formed by 56 higher education institutions in Chongqing to promote high-quality cooperation between higher education institutions in Chongqing and SCO countries. It aims to translate achievements in the education sector into real gains， promote progress in international trade， and people-to-people exchanges， and facilitate mutual learning among different civilizations， thus enhancing the high-standard opening up of Chongqings higher education.

Recently， Li Keyong， the first Chairman of the Higher Education Working Committee， Deputy Secretary of the CPC Committee， and President of the Chongqing Institute of Foreign Studies （CIFS） said in an exclusive interview by The World and Chongqing that the Committee will make full use of Chongqings geographical advantage among BRI countries and lead the member institutions in the international development of Chongqings higher education institutions. Efforts will be made to create a “Chongqing Brand” that reflects the international cooperation and exchange in education of SCO members and Belt and Road partner countries. The Higher Education Working Committee will be built into an important platform for the integrated development of education， talent， industry， and innovation chains for China and SCO countries.

Cultivating Application-Orientated and Versatile International Talent

“With the fast-tracked process of internationalization， the significance of international collaboration has grown， and the importance of cultivating international talent has become more prominent.” Li Keyong expressed that the development of a “Chongqing Brand” for SCO international higher education cooperation and exchange requires a balance between the “supply” of education and the “demand” of SCO countries. To this end， there is a need to cultivate a large number of professionals of various disciplines who have a global perspective and master foreign languages. This has been a task that the institutions have been putting a plethora of thought and effort into.

Mr. Li Keyong told us that in recent years， CIFS has leveraged its advantage in languages and established international development as its core strategy. The college has actively developed diversified new talent cultivation models such as “foreign language + another profession”， “foreign language + skill”， and “foreign language + internationalization” with a goal to cultivate versatile， application-oriented， and open-minded talent who “masters foreign languages， is competent in their profession， and has practical experiences.” CIFS has devoted great efforts to integrating high-quality domestic and international education resources， continuously expanding international joint programs， and actively promoting diverse international education cooperation and exchange activities such as China-foreign cooperative education， joint research， and teacher and student exchanges. At present， CIFS has fostered cooperative relationships with more than 50 higher education institutions covering five continents.

Mutual learning among different civilizations fosters closer people-to-people ties， and the establishment of such ties requires languages as a strong foundation. The Higher Education Working Committee plans to coordinate with Chongqings higher education institutions to compile a set of education materials encompassing all languages of the SCO countries. “We hope to build a bridge of languages that allows students to learn about the histories and cultures of the SCO countries through studying the languages， thus promoting exchange， communication， and understanding among the countries. At the same time， we will carry out our mission of telling Chinas stories well and making the voice of China heard，” Mr. Li Keyong said.

Facilitating Joint Contribution and Shared Benefits of Global Education Resources

International exchange and cooperation are important means to promote the international development of higher education. “We will actively explore new mechanisms for cooperation between Chinese and foreign universities， diversifying the forms of educational cooperation and exchange， and developing a supportive and unique system for educational cooperation and exchange，” Mr. Li Keyong said.

The Higher Education Working Committee will focus on conducting international study and research programs， pairing up with foreign partner schools， and promoting cultural exchanges between China and other countries， including SCO cultural exchange activities. At the same time， efforts will be made to promote Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools to jointly contribute to and share the benefits of global educational resources. Next， we will contribute to the BRI cooperation through talent cultivation with an emphasis on “l(fā)anguage + professional skills，” thus promoting the integrated development of industry， education， and research on a global stage. Through a series of measures， higher education institutions in Chongqing and China will improve their capabilities in internationalization， enhance their brand images， and create a “Chongqing Brand” that features international cooperation and exchanges in education.

“The Higher Education Working Committee in Chongqing will systematically develop both the strategic framework and comprehensive strategies for the internationalization of higher education. Collaborating with think tanks in Chongqings higher education institutions， we will consolidate research resources from universities and colleges to conduct thorough industrial research， brand planning， decision consulting， and academic research. These efforts will infuse the “wisdom of higher education institutions” into the coordinated development of the SCO and fruitful BRI cooperation.”
