In Prof. Wu’s speech, he expressed that the signing of this MOU with AIAA, one of the world’s leading societies in the field of aeronautics and astronautics, was a significant and historic event, which would certainly take our international cooperation and communication to a new height. Dr. Ying agreed with Prof. Wu and stated that China and US were two big economic entities in the world. The cooperation between them in the field of aeronautics and space could help solve many difficulties and better deal with challenges.

Besides, participants from both sides exchanged ideas about the management of the social organization and possible future cooperation. Everyone was actively engaged in the discussion.
