CWU initiated a foreign aid project for a Masters in social work in the first half of 2016 and received positive social feedback. As the first and the only State-owned women's university, CWU is committed to promoting international communication among women and will continue to develop institutionalized exchange programs in the future, Liu added.

He hoped that more Namibian students could come to China and study at CWU in the future.
