Mr. Takaizumi stressed that “mutual understanding and tolerance are ultimate features of a quality education, and campus life in university is the best period to cultivate such a spirit. To enhance the neighborliness between Japan and China, youths like you are expected to take the lead in promoting mutual understanding through face-to-face communication, particularly in light of the historical and cultural links between the two countries.”
Mr. Zhao expressed his appreciation and respect to NYK for maintaining stable and pragmatic cooperation with Dalian Maritime University, which fully reflects NYK’s strong sense of being a socially responsible corporate citizen.
