A delegation from the Kuwait Foundation for the Development of Science and Kuwait University recently visited CUHK. Vice-President Professor Mei-Ha Sham, along with four deans, engaged in in-depth discussions, with me in attendance. Both sides focused on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, environmental science, and social innovation. We showcased Hong Kong's research capabilities, integrating engineering R&D with clinical applications, including a multi-scale robotics platform for diagnosis and treatment. This cross-regional, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary dialogue fosters knowledge sharing and academic connections, injecting new impetus into higher education and societal development. We look forward to CUHK and academic institutions in Kuwait collaborating on impactful collaborative projects to promote regional and global innovation.
