They also benefited greatly from the suggestions by the editorial board members and expressed their wish to explore more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

As long-term partners, Antai and WU have maintained active exchanges in college education, scientific research, international cooperation, and other aspects for many years. JMA's visit to WU is not only a key measure for JMA to expand its influence in Europe but also an important foundation for Antai and WU to deepen friendship and explore further cooperation.
