Peking University, August 22, 2026: A Peking University (PKU) delegation led by President Gao Song visited South Korea from Aug. 13 to 15, as part of efforts to strengthen cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between the two countries.

The delegation visited and engaged in discussions with several partner higher education institutions, the Chinese embassy in South Korea, and SK bioscience, brightening the prospects of deeper cooperation between these organizations and Peking University in multiple areas.

Gao Song met with the presidents of Taejae University, Ewha Womans University, Seoul National University, and Chey Institute for Advanced Studies. PKU is set to increase cooperation with these partner institutions across a range of initiatives, from the Beijing Forum and CAMPUS Asia to women's leadership development programs and youth exchanges. 

The delegation also paid a courtesy call on Dai Bing, the Chinese ambassador to the Republic of Korea, who thanked PKU for its efforts to promote Sino-Korean cooperation and pledged support for more exchange activities. At SK bioscience, the delegation discussed with corporate leaders the expansion of university-industry collaboration, applications of artificial intelligence in life sciences and healthcare, and global public health.



This visit went a long way toward fulfilling the collaborative consensus reached by the leaders of China and South Korea. In the future, PKU will continue to leverage platforms such as the Beijing Forum and CAMPUS Asia to promote educational and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
