On June 23, Mr. Alexander Vedernikov, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of Irkutsk Oblast, sent a letter of appreciation to Liaoning University on behalf of the official delegation, expressing sincere thanks for the warm reception extended during their visit to Liaoning from June 12 to 14.
The letter highly praised the university’s active role in promoting academic exchange and cultural cooperation between Chinese and Russian institutions. It also affirmed Irkutsk Oblast’s strong willingness to deepen cooperation with Liaoning Province in the fields of education, science and technology, and the humanities, in an effort to further strengthen the friendly ties between the two regions.
To the President of Liaoning University
Prof. Yu Miaojie
Dear Prof. Yu Miaojie,
On behalf of myself and all members of the official delegation of the Legislative Assembly of Irkutsk Oblast who visited Liaoning Province from June 12 to 14, 2025, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the warm and cordial welcome extended to us by Liaoning University.
Your staff surrounded us with great attention and care. Please convey our heartfelt thanks to Vice President Prof. Huo Chunhui and all the colleagues of Liaoning University who took part in receiving our delegation.
Our visit to Liaoning Province enabled us to broaden our network of professional contacts and to outline concrete plans for further cooperation.
I am confident that maintaining regular contacts across various spheres between the parliamentarians of Irkutsk Oblast and Liaoning Province, including the exchange of experience and the implementation of joint initiatives, will contribute to the further expansion and strengthening of humanitarian, cultural, scientific, and educational cooperation. As I noted in my welcoming address at the 2nd Liaoning Sister Regions Forum, under the current difficult conditions that have impacted international cooperation — including educational exchanges with Chinese youth — Irkutsk universities remain fully committed to welcoming Chinese students. The Legislative Assembly of Irkutsk Oblast, for its part, is ready to actively support the expansion of cooperation between universities in Irkutsk Oblast and those in Liaoning Province.
Once again, thank you for your warm reception and engaging discussions. I look forward to our next meeting on Irkutsk soil.
With sincere respect,
A. V. Vedernikov
Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of Irkutsk Oblast
