On December 5th, Vice President GUAN Zhongliang met with Igors Tipans, the Vice President of Riga Technical University (RTU).

GUAN welcomed Igors Tipans and briefly introduced the contribution made by the university to the development of rail transit in China and the internationalisation of the disciplines of economics and managements, architecture and design, and traffic and transportation. He said the university has always attached great importance to the cooperation with RTU.
