On the 15^th (October) "The First Round@ University Club Forum", which had the theme "The future image of studying abroad between Japan and China" (with Mainichi Newspapers' university support center as the sponsor), was opened at the "Mainichi Hall" inside the Mainichi Newspapers Tokyo headquarters (Chiyoda district, Tokyo). Following a keynote speech made by Mr. Bai Gang who was the Chinese Embassy minister counselor and had the experience as the vice president of the Beijing University of Foreign Languages, Mr. Masami Watanabe, the section chief of the Higher Education Bureau for Students and Overseas Studying, which was under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, conversed with Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai in the lecture had expressed that "there are areas in Chinese and Japanese culture where values are similar, and hope students from respective countries studying abroad could contribute to the stable development of both countries".

It is nice to note that cultural exchanges between Japan and China are continuing.
