In order to foster the cooperation, and jointly construct “the Economic Belt of the Silk Road” and “the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road”, TJU through E9 and eight ASEAN universities have established “ACNET-EngTech” under the support of ACC and SEAMEO RIHED. On March 27, 2015, the 1st Meeting of “ACNET-EngTech,” the Opening Ceremony of ACNET-EngTech Secretariat, and the “China-ASEAN Cultural Festival of Maritime Silk Road” were held at Tianjin University. The events were highly appreciated by ACC, SEAMEO RIHED and member universities, which is why the delegation has again paid another visit to TJU.
