On the morning of September 26th, 2019, in order to speed up the construction of agricultural talents in Henan and promote the development of agricultural economy in Henan, Sino-British Science and Technology Innovation Platform invited a British delegation headed by Earl bathurst IX, a consultant of the British central government and former president of the Royal Agricultural University, to visit Henan Agricultural University. President Ma Xinming, Vice President Xi Lei, Deputy Director Tian Zhiqiang of Science and Technology Department of Henan Agricultural University and other relevant leaders visited and participated in the discussion.
At the symposium, on behalf of Henan Agricultural University, Dean Ma Xinming first warmly welcomed the arrival of the British delegation and the Sino-British science and technology innovation platform, and made a detailed report on the achievements of Henan Agricultural University in personnel training, discipline construction and exchanges with the Royal Agricultural University in recent years, hoping that the inter-school cooperation between the two universities can be deeper and wider, and jointly explore and cultivate agricultural economics talents in the new era.
Count bathurst IX briefly described the present situation and future direction of agricultural development in Britain, combining with his own employment and research achievements. The Earl said that the Royal Agricultural University of the United Kingdom shoulders the development burden of digital agriculture and smart agriculture in the United Kingdom, and I believe Henan Agricultural University is the same. He is very willing that both sides can achieve win-win cooperation and play their due role in the modern agricultural construction of China and Britain.
