From July 8 to 12, HUFS organized “The Second Annual Congress of the Silk-road Universities Network (SUN).”

Under the theme of “Mutual Understanding & Respect Along the Silk Road,” 200 students from 33 universities and 18 countries took part.

A student participant named Jung Jin-cheol from Chonbuk National University said, “I was impressed by the idea of developing a network of universities in pursuit of the spirit of the Silk Road, a symbol of coexistence of civilizations.”

Founded last year, SUN aims to restore the historical value of the ancient Silk Road as a key to realizing international peace and collective prosperity through academic and cultural exchange.
