On January 23, the inauguration ceremony of the Southwest Minzu University and Xichang City Joint Institute of Modernization and an exchange meeting on modernization pilot work were held.
Zhang Ning, Secretary of the Party Committee of Southwest Minzu University, stated that the joint establishment of the institute by the university and the local government is not only a strategic choice for complementary advantages and resource sharing but also a reflection of the university’s proactive commitment to serving national strategies and addressing local needs. Moving forward, the university will leverage the institute as a bridge to promote resource exchange, collaboration between the university and the local government, joint brand building, and shared development, thereby making greater contributions to advancing the construction of the Chinese national community.
Yang Chuan, Deputy Secretary of the Xichang Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Xichang, emphasized that as one of the first pilot cities for joint modernization in China and the only such pilot in Sichuan Province, Xichang has long been exploring practical pathways to synergize common prosperity with regional modernization. Southwest Minzu University, as a key institution under the National Ethnic Affairs Commission, possesses profound expertise in ethnic theory research, regional strategic consulting, and social governance innovation. The establishment of the Joint Institute of Modernization marks a new phase of comprehensive and multi-level collaboration between the university and the local government. Xichang will spare no effort to provide the strongest possible support in terms of policies, funding, talent, and other resources to ensure the efficient operation of the institute.
