On 27 July, H.E. Ambassador Ren Hongyan met Nazim Hosein, Chairman of MIC Institute of Technology, and held discussions with his delegation.

Ambassador Ren stated that cooperation in vocational and technical education constitutes an important component of the Comprehensive Cooperative Partnership between China and Trinidad and Tobago. China and Trinidad and Tobago enjoy a solid foundation for exchanges in skills training. China looks forward to further deepening practical cooperation in vocational and technical education with Trinidad and Tobago. Leveraging platforms including the MIC Institute of Technology, both sides can expand teacher exchanges, joint training programmes and joint development of academic programmes, helping Trinidad and Tobago nurture local skilled industrial personnel.

Chairman Hosein noted that the MIC Institute of Technology is actively exploring cooperation opportunities with Chinese partners. Focusing on technical and vocational education and training as well as faculty capacity building, the Institute seeks to establish structured cooperation with vocational colleges and universities across China. Both sides will jointly upgrade vocational training standards and cultivate more high-calibre skilled personnel.
