«Because youth represents the future of a country, for a society and we believe that an educational and cultural exchange between both countries can also greatly promote the development of human resources and what better than Tamaulipas, which today is inviting us to work with you,» he added.

A group of young students from our University, he said, have already been in China, meeting and exchanging experiences with other young university students, but it would be better if there were more of them and they were able to find employment in several of the companies in that Asian country.
