Throughout the program, he also visited key landmarks and locations of cultural and historical significance, further enriching the academic experience and intercultural dialogue.
During his visit, he held meetings with colleagues and explored new opportunities for institutional collaboration. In Beijing, he visited Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU), where he met with Professor Xu, Director of the World Center for Sinology, to discuss potential areas of cooperation. He then met with Professor Chen Taotao from the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University, with whom Universidad del Pacífico and CECHAP maintain an active academic exchange program. At Peking University, Herrera held a meeting with Professor Guo Jie, a member of CECHAP’s Advisory Council.
The visit strengthened academic ties and allowed the identification of new opportunities for collaboration, contributing to CECHAP’s positioning as an active actor within global networks dedicated to the study of China and the Asia-Pacific region.
