SHANGHAI Mayor Yang Xiong met William R. Berkley, chair of the board of the Trustees of New York University and Andrew Hamilton, president-designate of NYU on Friday.

Yang said Shanghai should have first-class education since it strives to become a first-class city in the world. NYU-Shanghai is the first China-US joint university with an independent legal person status and the right to confer degrees. After the founding, it operates smoothly and has become a role model of joint-venture universities.

Yang continued that Shanghai is accelerating the construction of an international economy, finance, trade and shipping center as well as a global innovation center, which all require universities including NYU-Shanghai to train more high-caliber talents.

Yang added that higher education should also reform and make innovation in this fast-changing world. He hoped both sides can learn from each other to promote NYU-Shanghai to innovate education content and methods and further expand cooperation with relevant universities in Shanghai.

Yang pledged that Shanghai will spare no efforts to support the development of NYU-Shanghai and believed that both sides’ extensive consensus and close cooperation will bring greater success.

The guests said that education is the foundation of a city’s development and Shanghai is an innovative city which has achieved notable development.

The guests added that NYU-Shanghai is a key overseas program of NYU and they felt encouraged by NYU-Shanghai’s fruits in such a short time. NYU will fully support the development of NYU-Shanghai to make it better contribute to Shanghai’s social and economic development.
