In September 2026, separate delegations from Tsinghua University School of Law visited Vietnam and Indonesia to advance international exchanges and cooperation. The delegations visited the School of Law, Vietnam National University, Hanoi; the University of Economics and Law, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City; the Faculty of Law, Universitas Indonesia; and the Tanoto Foundation. They also met with local alumni representatives in Jakarta.
During the visits, the delegations held in‑depth discussions with their counterparts on legal education, the training of legal professionals, academic collaboration, and promotion of the LL.M. Programme, further expanding the Law School’s international cooperation network across Southeast Asia.
From September 22 to 25, a delegation led by Professor Cui Guobin, Dean of the Law School, accompanied by Professor Chen Hangping, Vice‑Dean, and Liu Mengci from the Academic Affairs Office, first travelled to Hanoi, Vietnam, to attend the 50th anniversary celebrations of the School of Law, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Afterwards, the delegation held discussions at the University of Economics and Law, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City.
While in Vietnam, Dean Cui Guobin and the delegation met with senior representatives of the two institutions. They introduced the distinctive features, curriculum and admissions policies of the Law School’s LL.M. Programme. The institutions agreed in principle to explore student exchange programmes, short‑term visits by scholars, and joint academic seminars. The delegation also discussed potential approaches to jointly training legal professionals for cross-border practice in Southeast Asia. Both sides agreed to continue discussions and work towards implementing the proposed cooperation.
From September 23 to 25, another delegation headed by Professor Gao Simin, Vice‑Dean of the Law School, accompanied by Long Jun and Wang Yang, Deputy Secretaries of the School’s Party Committee, and Zhang Yifei from the International Affairs Office, visited Jakarta, Indonesia. Vice‑Dean Gao Simin’s delegation met with the Dean and other senior representatives of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Indonesia. Both sides described their schools’ development, educational programmes and international engagement. They held in-depth discussions on legal education, faculty and student exchanges, academic partnerships and joint training programmes, and agreed to strengthen communication and advance cooperation.
The delegation also held an information session on the Tsinghua Law School LL.M. Programme at the Faculty of Law, Universitas Indonesia. The session covered the programme’s distinctive features, curriculum, learning environment and application procedures, followed by a Q&A session. The team also visited the Tanoto Foundation in Jakarta and held talks with its senior representatives. The delegation learned about the Foundation’s work in educational philanthropy, youth development and training, and discussed international education and potential future collaboration. During their stay in Jakarta, the delegation met with local alumni representatives to learn about their careers and seek their views on the Law School’s educational programmes, international engagement and the future development of the LL.M. Programme.
These visits have deepened mutual understanding and strengthened ties between Tsinghua Law School and universities, philanthropic organisations and alumni communities in Vietnam and Indonesia. They have expanded the Law School’s network of international partners in Southeast Asia and laid a foundation for closer collaboration. Going forward, the Law School will continue to develop existing regional partnerships, establish new international partnerships and draw on alumni support. It aims to further enhance its international standing in law, promote international engagement and innovation in legal education, and train legal professionals for cross-border practice.
