On behalf of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), let me extend to you our heartiest congratulations on Soka University's 50th anniversary. Since your university's founding in 1971, it has worked tirelessly to realize the vision of Founder Dr Daisaku Ikeda and become one of the most international universities in Japan. I am certain that Soka University will continue to scale new heights of excellence under your leadership.
CUHK is honoured to be the first partner of Soka University. Since 1975, our long and close relationship of over four decades is a testimony to our commitment to promote internationalization in higher education. In addition to a very successful student exchange programme which has been generously supported by your university, we have further enriched the experiential learning experiences of our students by bringing them together for various cultural and educational activities. The Chinese University also had the privilege to host senior leaders from Soka University over the years, including Dr Ikeda and former President Professor Hideo Yamamoto.
This is the most trying time for humanity. With the pandemic ravaging the globe and bringing drastic changes to every aspect of our lives, it has become crystal clear that universities must come together and fortify collaborations to address global challenges for the betterment of humankind. I look forward to working with your university to address the call of our times.
Congratulations once again on this remarkable milestone!
