Recently, thirty-one teachers and students from Dongying Shengli No. 1 Senior Middle School visited Guildford High School in Guildford, UK - a sister city of Dongying - for an educational exchange. Two schools, via a video conference, signed a memorandum of understanding on collaboration, further deepening friendship between the cities. Ms. Sallie Barker, the mayor of Guildford, met with the teachers and students in person. Mr. G Q Max Lu, president of the University of Surrey, introduced the school, made the comparison between Chinese and Western education, and shared his experience of studying abroad to children.

Looking forward, Dongying will continue to promote various forms of youth exchange with its sister cities and enhance the understanding between the two peoples.
