On May 7, Om Romny, Secretary of State of MoEYS of Cambodia, led a delegation to visit Shenyang and signed the "Belt and Road" vocational education cooperation project with Shenyang Polytechnic College. Li Gang, Vice Mayor of Shenyang Municipal Government, and Cao Lan, Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Education, attended the signing ceremony. Shenyang Polytechnic College signed the "Modern Architecture · Mozi Workshop" project cooperation agreement and the "Belt and Road" vocational education cooperation agreement with Vocational Orientation Department of MoEYS of Cambodia and Kampong Speu Institute of Technology.

Li Gang said in his speech that the cooperation project signed this time is an important measure for Shenyang to deeply integrate into the "Belt and Road Initiative"(BRI) and an important part of deepening international exchanges and cooperation in Shenyang vocational education. As an important node city of BRI and one of the first batch of national pilot cities, as well as the first city in northeast China for integration of industry and education, Shenyang will give full play the fundamental and overall role of vocational education in economic and social development. Relying on this cooperation project, Shenyang will continue to strengthen cooperation with universities and enterprises in Cambodia and other BRI countries and regions to promote high-quality development of vocational education.
