On the morning of May 19, Ren Jie, Chairperson of the New Zealand CUEB Alumni Association and Chairman of Da Ping Media, and Hu Mei, both alumni of Class of 1979 majoring in Trade Economics, visited CUEB for a discussion session. President Wu Weixing, Deputy Party Secretary of CUEB and Chairperson of CUEB Alumni Association, and Vice President Yin Zhichao, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of the Standing Council of CUEB Alumni Association, met with them at the Bona Building on the main campus.

Wu and Yin extended a warm welcome to the alumni and expressed gratitude to all alumni at home and abroad who have been concerned about CUEB’s development. Wu introduced CUEB’s achievements in recent years and emphasized that they are inseparable from the support and attention of the alumni. He hoped that alumni would continue to offer valuable suggestions for CUEB. He also mentioned that CUEB will celebrate its 70th founding anniversary in 2026 and sincerely invited alumni from home and abroad to participate in related activities.

This, he said, would help pool resources and wisdom to the development of alumni and CUEB.
