Pan Jianfeng, Dean of Peking University Law School, first extended a warm welcome to Beijing Financial Court and his delegation. He said that the establishment of Beijing Financial Court is an important decision made by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. It is a sign of professional courts and modern trials. Offering practical courses in cooperation with specialized courts has long been one of the important measures in the educational reform of Peking University Law School. It is hoped that this exchange will promote close cooperation between Beijing Financial Court and Peking University Law School for mutual benefit and make due contributions to the cause of the rule of law in the country's finance sector.

Subsequently, Cai Huiyong, Party Secretary and Dean of the Beijing Financial Court, delivered a speech. He first expressed his excitement at returning to his alma mater as an alumnus of Peking University, and introduced the basic situation of the Beijing Financial Court in detail to the participants. On March 18 this year, the Beijing Financial Court was officially established. As a part of the National Financial Management Center, the Beijing Financial Court will, based on the national positioning, serve and guarantee the implementation of the national financial strategy, create a favorable environment for the rule of law in finance, and promote economic and social development. He said that the Beijing Financial Court was established with great speed and heavy responsibility, and urgently needed the support of theoretical knowledge of financial law and foreign-related law, as well as excellent personnel. He hoped to work with Peking University Law School to set up a theoretical and practical teaching base to build a platform for training personnel on the rule of law; to set up a platform for sharing information resources to promote cooperation between trial practice and academic research; and to set up a platform for Party building to strengthen two-way communication between personnel and cadres.

Following that, the two sides had detailed, in-depth and fruitful exchanges on cooperation issues. After the conclusion of the exchange, the two sides visited the Law Library and the Party Committee of the Law School to commemorate the centenary of the founding of the CPC as well as the themed exhibition "Glory to the Academy". In the end, all the participants took a group photo as a souvenir; the event was concluded successfully.

This exchange will promote the collaborative construction, resource sharing, and exchange and cooperation between Peking University Law School and Beijing Financial Court, deepen the two-way exchange and cooperation between people's courts and universities in the capital, and help cultivate high-quality and inter-disciplinary personnel responsible for hearing financial cases and law enforcement of laws who know both laws and finance, so as to jointly contribute to the rule of law of the financial industry.
