During the meeting, both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on topics including the preparation for 12th meeting of the Joint Management Committee, expanding two-way cultural exchanges, enhancing cooperative levels, launching degree programs for international students in China, and exploring cooperation in continuing education. Multiple areas of collaboration were agreed upon. Tang Jie emphasized that Renmin University of China maintains a positive and open attitude toward cooperation with KEDGE Business School, and he expressed hope that the working teams on both sides would continue to strengthen coordination to ensure all cooperative initiatives are implemented and yield results as soon as possible.

The students remarked that their academic and living conditions in China, as well as immersive cultural experiences, far exceeded expectations, and they were particularly impressed by the vibrant development of Chinese cities. De Navailles encouraged the students to make the most of their study abroad opportunities, deepen their understanding of Chinese culture, and play an active role in promoting Sino-French exchanges and cooperation in the future.
