Perspectives 未来的发展
• As for the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1964, China educational exchanges with France are clearly a step further than with osther western countries
• 中法关系最密切”法国当初是第一个和新中国建交的西方国家,这使得中法教育合作关系比别的国家更为密切。
• French students trust Chinese Universities, are very motivated to study in China and learn about its culture. This present situation could be made even better by involving more French and Chinese companies
• 法国学生很看好中国的教育,很愿意来华读书。如果中法企业参与赞助培养会更加促进和扩大 留学交流机会。
