Edy Wong, the dean of economic department of Alberta University, with his 29 EMBA 2014 students delegation, visited the Peace Garden on May 17th, 2016. These students are mainly entrepreneurs and government officials from 7 countries, including Canada, India, Brazil, UK, Mexico, Romania and China. Dr. LI Ruohong, Chairman of China World Peace Foundation, warmly welcome them by shaking hands with each of the delegates.
With the invitation of Dr. Li, the students delegation visited China-Africa Friendship Woods, Peace Stones and Peace Garden Museum, all spoke highly of Dr. Li’s contribution to the course of peace.
It has been the 10th Peace Garden education Forum of Alberta University EMBA Students. More than 300 students have been visiting Peace Garden for communication. Each year, distinguished guests from various social communities are invited here to deliver lectures. In this year’s Forum, Dr. Li and Mr. Wong gave welcome address and acknowledging remarks respectively. Dr. Li said, China-Canada cooperation has great potential and market. We need to take the chance to promote the cooperation, exchanges, to achieve mutual benefits and win-win results. The guests from China-America Culture Exchanges Foundation, Beijing Tourism Council and ECCAC presented English speeches on two countries’ differences of social culture, cooperation culture and opportunities to convert differences to opportunities. The lively and vivid way in which the speeches delivered brought the listeners into often laughter . Many speakers pointed out that it is better to adapt to local culture rather than bring your own culture into that country in international exchanges, and explore opportunities during localization. After the forum, in-depth discussions were carried out between guests and students. Students raised questions concerning China economic prospect and investment model. Dr. Li Shared his ideas and experience, and encouraged students to use Foundation as a platform to establish cooperation with China. Some students who are setting up their own companies talked in-depth with Dr. Li and expressed their willingness to cooperate.
At last, the students enjoyed China traditional art---- changing faces and took pictures with artists. Then, Mr. Wong presented to Dr.Li local artwork of Canada as a gift before they said farewells to each other.
