The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road, also known as“One Belt One Road” is a development strategy and framework, proposed by People’s Republic of China that focuses on connectivity and cooperation among countries primarily in Eurasia, which consists of two main components, the land-based “Silk Road Economic Belt” (SREB) and oceangoing “Maritime Silk Road” (MSR). The strategy underlines China’s push to take a bigger role in global affairs, and its need to export China’s production capacity in areas of overproduction.
France is an important part of “One Belt One Road”, and Chinese international students in France are the effective strengths to boost the cooperation between China and France. To help those students better comprehend this strategy, “One Belt One Road” Talent Summit Forum was held at ESSEC La Défense Campus on October 31. The forum was hosted by Union des Chercheurs et des Étudiants Chinois en France, Tongji University Alumni Association in France and co-hosted by ESSEC CHINE.
Two distinguished guests were invited to the forum, Dr. Fancheng MENG, partner of Heidrick&Struggles, and Mr. Luzheng SONG, political scientist in France. Dr. MENG presented his report of “The demand and lack of international talents in One Belt One Road in view of the Greek Crisis”. He demonstrated the international talents challenge that China will face during the fulfillment of “One Belt One Road” in detail. On the other hand, Mr. Song analyzed the influence of “One Belt One Road” on China’s relationship with United States, Europe, Islamic countries and Russia. Besides, he proposed the economic and political meaning of “One Belt One Road” to the countries along the routes of SREB and MSR.
Through those two impressive reports, the Chinese students at present got a deeper understanding of “One Belt One Road”. During the Q&A part, a lot of students raised their questions to Dr. MENG and Mr. SONG and discussed the influence of “One Belt One Road” on Chinese international students deep further.
Afterwards, the organizers provided a cocktail party for guests and students, allowing them to share more ideas in a casual way. Students took advantage of this precious opportunity to get more inspiration from guests and other colleagues.
Through the cooperation and share of resources by Union des Chercheurs et des Étudiants Chinois en France, Tongji University Alumni Association and ESSEC CHINE, the “One Belt One Road” Talents Summit Forum was a great success. Those three associations are aimed to provide better service for Chinese international students in France and promote the Sino-French friendship. Keep tuned for more wonderful activities!
“一带一路”人才高峰论坛圆满落幕
“一带一路”是丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路的简称。2013年9月和10月，中国国家主席习近平分别提出建设“新丝绸之路经济带”和“21世纪海上丝绸之路”的战略构想。
“一带一路”是合作发展的理念和倡议，是依靠中国与有关国家既有的双多边机制，借助既有的、行之有效的区域合作平台，旨在借用古代“丝绸之路”的历史符号，高举和平发展的旗帜，主动地发展与沿线国家的经济合作伙伴关系，共同打造政治互信、经济融合、文化包容的利益共同体、命运共同体和责任共同体。法国是“一带一路”战略的重要一环。作为促进中法双边合作的有生力量，留法青年应当充分利用中法双重文化背景为祖国实现这一长远战略添砖加瓦。
为了更好地为留法青年解读“一带一路”战略，10月31日下午，由巴黎学联、同济大学法国校友会主办、ESSEC CHINE联合协办的“一带一路”人才高峰论坛于ESSEC La Défense校区顺利举行。
本次论坛有幸邀请到两位重量级嘉宾。一位是同济杰出校友孟凡辰博士，现任海德思哲国际咨询公司（全球最大的企业领袖搜寻顾问）合伙人，曾任拉法基集团全球副总裁、西门子中国区副总裁。另一位是旅法政治学者宋鲁郑先生，担任复旦大学中国发展模式研究中心研究员。
孟凡辰博士以人才发展为重点，为我们带来了《从希腊危机看“一带一路”国际化人才需求和巨大缺口》报告，从“一带一路”的地缘政治和转型发展需要、希腊危机对中国海外投资和转型发展警示、“一带一路”可以借鉴的最佳实践/人才战略、“一带一路”成功的人才短板四方面详细解读了“一带一路”成功落实中所要面对的国际化人才挑战。
而宋鲁郑先生则从国际关系角度出发，具体分析了“一带一路”战略对中国与美国、欧洲、伊斯兰国家、俄罗斯间关系的影响以及对沿线国家的经济、政治意义。
通过两场精彩的报告，在场同学们深受启发，并对“一带一路”战略有了更深刻的了解。在提问环节中，同学们积极向两位嘉宾提出各类疑问，进一步探讨“一带一路“战略对我们的影响和意义。
面对中国巨大的国际化人才缺口，我们应当充分利用自身专业、海外背景优势以及一带一路为国内外国际化华人学子带来的职业机遇，确立自己在中国经济转型和全球就业市场中的地位。
报告环节结束后，主办方还精心为嘉宾、同学们准备了鸡尾酒会，大家积极参与，利用这个难得的平台进一步交流想法，现场气氛热烈，“一带一路”人才高峰论坛也就此圆满落幕。
本次活动由巴黎学联、同济大学法国校友会、ESSEC CHINE共同承办，通过三大组织的共同合作、整合资源，为留法学子们提供了更好的服务，促进了中法友好发展。欢迎持续关注我们带来的更多精彩活动！
