Discussion also included the proposal to extend collaboration into maritime law, environmental humanities research, languages, international studies, and creative writing.

The visitors were joined in their meetings by a key Wuhan ¾«¶«´«Ã½ partner, Dr Will Tuladhar Douglas, Director of the Confucius Institute at the ¾«¶«´«Ã½ of Aberdeen.
