On December 1st 2020, HU concluded a memorandum of understanding with Capital Normal University (CNU) on the establishment of Hiroshima University Morito Institute of Global Higher Education in Beijing. HU and CNU also concluded an international exchange agreement in 2002, and in the same year established the Beijing Research Center, HU’s first research and education center, where educational and research exchanges are ongoing.

The signing ceremony was held online at HU’s Kasumi Campus with President Mitsuo Ochi, Executive Vice President Toshiyuki Sato and Executive Vice President Satoshi Watanabe attending from HU. From CNU, President Meng Fanhua, Director Han Mei of International Cooperation and Exchange, Vice Director Lu Qiaomei of International Cooperation and Exchange, and Professor Li Junyang were in attendance. The memorandum of understanding was signed by both President Ochi and President Meng.

President Ochi expressed his hopes for the future, saying “I hope that the establishment of the Morito Institute of Global Higher Education in Beijing will deepen the cooperation between Capital Normal University and our own university, further developing both universities.”

President Meng also commented, “Our universities have a history of exchange for more than 20 years. Despite COVID-19 currently hindering the exchange between the two universities, I would like to work hand-in-hand to create a new cooperative relationship.”

Preparations for establishing Hiroshima University Morito Institute of Global Higher Education in Beijing within Capital Normal University are underway, with the aim of starting teaching in September 2021. Once established, the school will provide education for students of CNU and other Chinese students who are interested in Japanese language and culture, in order to improve their practical Japanese language skills and understanding of Japanese culture.
