In November 2013, the affiliated Center for China’s Relations with Neighboring Countries (CCRNC-Fudan) was established, laying emphasis on researches into relationship between China and Southeast Asia. The Network of ASEAN-China Academic Institutes (NACAI) is a platform of academic exchange and cooperation co-established by Fudan University and nine influential academic institutes in ASEAN countries in May, 2017. The mission undertaken by the Visiting Delegation of Fudan University to Jakarta and Surabaya, Indonesia in July 2019 would facilitate and intensify the research capacity in the domain of Southeast Asian studies with profundity by virtue of reinforcing targeted measures henceforth.
