Fostering China-Indonesia Cross-Border Collaboration in Technical Education
Oct 28, 2026
JAKARTA, Indonesia, October 28, 2026 -- On 26 October 2026, FangChengGang Polytechnic School of China and Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa (UNTIRTA) of Indonesia held the unveiling ceremony of the China-Indonesia International Technical Collaboration Partnership Centre in a hybrid online and offline format. The unveiling marks the school’s first inter-institutional cooperation with an Indonesian university and is an important practical outcome of its efforts to serve the Belt and Road Initiative and deepen its opening-up toward ASEAN.
The ceremony began at 15:00 Beijing time. Attendees included Mr. Zhao Guobao, Principal of Fangchenggang Polytechnic School; Ms. Xuan Hanling, Secretary of School; Prof. Ir. Alfirano, ST., MT., Vice Rector of Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa; and Mr. Yi Yan, CEO of IF Language School and Secretary-General of the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia.
In his remarks, Principal Zhao Guobao said that the school is located in Fangchenggang, Guangxi, a frontier port city facing ASEAN, and has long adhered to open education and devoted itself to training technical and skilled talents. Noting that this is the school's first inter-institutional cooperation with an Indonesian university, he said the school will follow a “pilot first, pragmatic progress” approach: making online academic exchanges a regular practice, exploring mutual learning among faculty, and carrying out student exchange programmes and joint online courses, so as to turn the text of the memorandum into tangible cooperation projects.
Prof. Ir. Alfirano, ST., MT, Vice Rector of UNTIRTA, noted in his remarks that the university is located in Banten Province, which has a strong industrial base, and has more than 35,000 students and over 70 study programmes. It is committed to building itself into a high-level university that is healthy, integrated, smart and green, and hopes to serve as a “water tower” from which knowledge flows to society and industry. He expressed the hope that the two sides will cooperate in vocational and technical education, applied research and innovation, faculty capacity building and industry linkages, so that student exchanges and faculty collaboration can truly take root.
Mr. Yi Yan said that as more and more Chinese enterprises enter Indonesia, demand is growing for professionals who understand technical work and can communicate in Mandarin. IF Language School is ready to contribute to language education, talent development and China-Indonesia exchanges and cooperation, creating more growth opportunities for young people in both countries.
Subsequently, representatives of the two institutions signed a cooperation memorandum of understanding online and jointly unveiled the plaque of the Centre. Under the memorandum, the two sides will cooperate in expert lectures, academic seminars, mutual visits of faculty and researchers, sharing of teaching resources, joint online education, student exchanges, short-term courses and social services.
The unveiling ceremony marks the entry of the two institutions’ cooperation into a phase of substantive implementation. Going forward, the two sides will closely align vocational education cooperation with industry needs, jointly cultivate technical and skilled talents with an international perspective, deepen China-Indonesia people-to-people friendship through educational exchanges, and contribute more to the “going global” of vocational education and China-ASEAN educational cooperation.
