Mr Huang said that before coming to Zhuhai, he had heard from high school student and parents that UIC is a popular university. The college's innovative system and internationalisation characteristics have absorbed many elite talents. He hopes UIC to grasp the development opportunities of the Greater Bay Area combined with the industrial advantage of Zhuhai in the high-tech industry.

He also hopes that UIC teachers and students will enhance the understanding of Zhuhai and Guangdong, with plenty of opportunities for talent exchange.
