On October 17, a delegation from PSB Paris led by its Academic President, Sylvaine Castellano, visited Shanghai Academy, and Wen Xueguo, Executive Vice President of Shanghai Academy, received the visitors.

Sylvaine Castellano first watched the English advertising video of Shanghai Academy and learnt about the background, positioning, goals, and academic achievements of Shanghai Academy. Wen Xueguo introduced Shanghai Academy as a new-type think tank jointly established by CASS and Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, noting that building a high-level platform for international exchanges is one of its major goals. Based in Shanghai and serving the nation, Shanghai Academy aims to build itself into a high-end think tank, a high-end talent training base, a high-end platform for international exchanges and cooperation, and a high-end national situation investigation base (“four high-end bases”). Shanghai Academy is willing to strengthen communication with overseas universities and organizations, in a bid to advance the cultural and academic exchanges between both sides.
