  Wu Ken said in his speech that the growing prosperity of the motherland and the continuous improvement of international influence will not only provide stronger backing for overseas students, but also create a broader stage for international students to display their talents. I hope that the students will live up to the times and their time, master their true talents and practical knowledge, and continue to achieve better selves. It is expected that international students will tell Chinese stories well with a spirit of self-confidence, openness and inclusiveness, and play a bridging role in enhancing mutual understanding and promoting friendly exchanges between the Chinese and German peoples.
