【昆山杜克大学美方校长：教育交流对国之交尤为关键】尽管美国政府近来频频滥用职权阻挠部分教育交流与合作项目，由美国杜克大学与中国武汉大学联合创办的昆山杜克大学保持招生热度，持续推动中外教育交流。该校常务副校长约翰·奎尔奇表示，尽管国际形势愈加复杂多变，但教育的初心与使命不容动摇。他强调，青年始终是国家关系的未来，教育交流对国之交尤为关键。奎尔奇直言：“我们无法左右国际局势，但我们可以坚守卓越。唯有如此，方能将乌云压顶的困境，化作前行的契机。”"People-to-people exchanges in the educational sector where young people are the future of any relationship between one country and another - that's very, very important," says John Quelch, the executive vice chancellor and American President of Duke Kunshan University, in an exclusive conversation with CGTN's Tian Wei. While global uncertainty is beyond control, Quelch says a commitment to excellence is not. With over 12,000 applications and about 600 freshmen this year, DKU has become a trusted choice for many students worldwide. Quelch believes that consistent quality in education proves every cloud has a silver lining. http://t.cn/A6kQtZ4k
