Jilin International Studies University (JISU) has been deeply practicing the opening up of education to the outside world and taking internationalization as the core driving force for the construction of a high-level foreign language university with special characteristics. Based on the “Belt and Road” Initiative, JISU serves the needs of the open development of Jilin Province. Through talent cultivation, scientific research and humanistic exchanges, the university has created a new mode of school running.
