Mr. Liu Bo Director Quality, SRECC made a power point presentation and gave a detailed account of DHUCP.

Mr. Shi Zhumei appreciated the efforts of ECOSF as a partner under DHUCP and bringing together Member Universities from the ECO region to participate in this important program. It aims to develop human resource capacity in digital technologies to achieve sustainable development under China’s One Belt and One Road cooperation program, he added.

The delegates deliberated on development of cooperation mechanism among member universities and SRECC. It was agreed upon that as a first logical step, a comprehensive plan of action needs to be developed in consultation with all relevant stakeholders. The DHUCP could begin by inviting Member Universities and provide training opportunities to faculty members and students through a cultural exchange programme. At later stage, this program could be extended with establishment of training centers on emerging technologies in the Member Universities.
