The delegates included Seung Hoon Choi, director of the DWU International Affairs Office; Hyo Jin Kwak, assistant secretary for DWU International Affairs; and, Yong Hwan Lee, leader of the Project on Global Partnership between UN Women and DWU.

Directors from the CWU Administrative Office of Scientific Research, Student Affairs Office, and Foreign Affairs Office participated in the event.

During the gathering, the two sides discussed the bilateral development status of teachers and students since they had formally established the cooperative relationship, and exchanged opinions on how to promote the program for exchange students.

Liu expressed full agreement with the DWU's suggestions on further developing the global partnership with UN Women and gave a positive response. Liu also further discussed the specific cooperation programs and details with guests.

Lee outlined the Building Global Partnership of Young Women project, and detailed the project's vision, planning and characteristics. Li Mingshun, Chairperson of the CWU Council, had previously participated in the second world conference which was sponsored by the DWU in 2014.
