Principal Lin Qiang gave a comprehensive introduction of the historical development, professional setting and teaching characteristics of the university. Meanwhile, Principal Lin Qiang introduced the status quo and achievements of the ecological environment construction in Hainan Province, and the contribution that the university has brought to the field of ecology and environmental protection. He also highlighted the efforts that the university made in rural education where we have sent a large number of outstanding teachers to take root in rural education and provide quality training courses for rural teachers. Vice Principal Shi Haitao added few points on the achievements in the field of ecological environmental protection. He suggested U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou to expand exchanges and cooperation between the university and the research institutes in the United States in the fields of environmental construction and sea turtle protection.

Consul General James Levy thanked Principal Lin Qiang for sharing. He also shared his own experience and felt it was very important to strengthen the cooperation and communication in solving environmental and species protection issues. Although China and the U.S. have frictions in the trade field, it is particularly valuable to strengthen cooperation and exchanges in the field of humanities exchanges, especially in the field of sea turtle rescue and protection. He greatly appreciated the achievements of the teachers and the students of the university and express the willingness to provide support for the teachers and students to exchange and study in the United States though the resources of the Consulate General.
