非洲来信之二:我们一直牵挂着你们 | We are keeping you in our thoughts
2020年2月17日,在全国上下全力攻坚抗疫的特殊时期,南非纳尔逊·曼德拉大学国际部高级主任贝塔·姆蒂吉扎纳博士给浙江师范大学非洲研究院院长刘鸿武教授发来一封特殊邮件,邮件转发了该校校长西邦吉莱·姆特瓦教授给浙师大郑孟状校长及全体浙师大师生的慰问信,让师大人倍感温暖、备受鼓舞。
On 17 February 2020, Prof. Liu Hongwu, the Director of the Institute of African Studies at Zhejiang Normal University (IASZNU) received an email from Dr. Beata Mtyingizana, the Senior Director of the International Office of Nelson Mandela University (NMU), with an attached letter from Prof. Sibongile Muthwa, the Vice-Chancellor of NMU, addressed to Prof. Zheng Mengzhuang, the President of Zhejiang Normal University. Both Prof. Muthwa and Dr. Mtyingizana expressed their solidarity with China in its fight against the novel coronavirus.
In the letter, Prof. Muthwa sent her wishes on the fight against coronavirus. She said, “We are keeping you in our thoughts during this difficult time. It is our greatest wish that with our collective global efforts, as led by the people of China, the world will soon win the struggle against this disease. Please remember that we are standing in solidarity with you.”
“The university remains committed to strengthen our mutual beneficial collaboration and find various avenues through which our partnership can expand and enable our researchers, scientists and students to continue working together and discovering solutions to the many challenges that our communities, countries and the world continue to face,” said Prof. Muthwa.
NMU is the only higher education institution in the world carrying the name of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. It was renamed from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU), which opened on 1 January 2005, as the result of the merging of the PE Technikon the University of Port Elizabeth (UPE) and the Port Elizabeth campus of Vista University (Vista PE). The university is one of the top 11 best universities in South Africa. With a wide range of programs, the university has an enrollment of around 27,000 students, with 21 departments and colleges. In July 2019, with the support and assistance of South Africa Branch of IASZNU, five students at IASZNU were away on an exchange visit to NMU for a three-month study and field research program. This was also the first Chinese student exchange program at the University. In September of the same year, the Second China-South Africa Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum, an event co-organized by ZJNU and NMU, was held at NMU. Its opening ceremony was attended by H.E. Mr Yuan Jiajun, the Governor of Zhejiang provincial government, and H.E. Mr Oscar Mabuyane, the Premier of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. They addressed speeches and witnessed the signing of the partnership agreement for further cooperation between NMU and ZJNU.
Up to now, on the basis of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and South Africa, the two countries have set up multiple cooperation mechanisms, dialogue platforms and conceptual frameworks, covering areas of politics, economy, science and technology, humanities, industry and education at a macro level. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the friendly and cooperative relations between Zhejiang Province and Eastern Cape Province. The Fourth Meeting of China-South Africa High-Level People-to-People Exchange Mechanism will be held in South Africa later this year. We believe that in the future, the cooperation between ZJNU and NMU will be further consolidated, and more substantive cooperation projects will be implemented.
