He noted that BNU Law School possesses a distinguished faculty and a robust foundation in legal theory. Given that the Bureau frequently encounters novel challenges in frontline judicial administration, he emphasized the necessity of strong theoretical support, identifying strengthened collaboration between the two institutions as the optimal solution. Director Hao subsequently proposed three specific areas for cooperation: first, joint efforts in training legal professionals specializing in foreign-related law; second, the co-organization of the themed initiative "Best Legal Service Professionals Entering Campus"; and third, active expansion of student internship and employment channels to deepen collaboration in talent cultivation and placement.

Subsequently, Dean Liang Yingxiu provided the delegation with a systematic overview of the history and current status of BNU Law School.

He specifically underscored the vast potential for collaboration between the Law School and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice in key areas such as arbitration, the training of foreign-related legal professionals, joint research projects, and expert review.

Group Leader Zhang Qingfen addressed the practical and theoretical frontiers of discipline inspection and supervision, noting a persistent gap between practice and theory in the field. She then elaborated on the unique advantages and solid foundation underpinning deeper cooperation between the two parties.

In their concluding remarks, Secretary Zheng Yanpu, along with Vice Deans He Dan and Guo Yating, highly commended the outcomes of the exchange and the extensive scope for future cooperation. They reached a consensus that both parties should prioritize deepening practical collaboration in key areas, including the training of foreign-related legal professionals, student internships and employment, curriculum development, the "Best Legal Service Professionals Entering Campus" initiative, and Party building and ideological education, to jointly inaugurate a new chapter in university-government cooperation.

This exchange seminar concluded with fruitful outcomes, establishing a solid foundation for future collaboration between the two parties.
