On Sep 30, Huaqiao University (HQU) News and Quanzhou TV (QZTV) launched their joint international communication project: Quanzhou Maritime Silk Road International Communication Center - Huaqiao University Collaborative Center, and signed a partnership letter of intent.

This newly-established collaborative venture between HQU News and QZTV represents a significant partnership poised to promote Quanzhou’s international communication. The Center will serve as a dynamic hub for innovation by leveraging Quanzhou’s rich historical and cultural heritage as the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, along with HQU’s renowned strengths in international education, research, and communication. Its multifaceted mission encompasses the creation of a premier international communication exhibition, a practical training base, and the formation of a professional international communication team.

This global recruitment effort seeks to attract anyone with the communication talent and the ability to connect across cultures, to join the team and contribute to the promotion of Quanzhou culture on the global stage.
