The Central Agricultural Broadcasting and Television School (CABTS) of China graced the Center on 23 October 2007 to learn about SEARCA's core programs and seek avenues for future collaboration and cooperation.
CABTS, a government-owned institution, was established in 1980 as a response to the need to develop human resources with practical skills in the rural areas. Its main mandate is to train farmers and develop agricultural education through radio and television.
The delegation was composed of Mr. Liu Yongquan, Vice-President; Mr. Wang Baiwan, Senior Economist; Ms. Yu Haixia, Associate Research Fellow; and Ms. Wang Jing, Associate Engineer. Their visit to SEARCA is part of a Southeast Asian tour, which ends with the 2007 Asian Association of Open Universities (AAOU) Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (, PR)
