Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Deputy Director - Beijing, China
Why I chose Fletcher: After eleven years of
service as a Legal Officer with the Foreign Ministry of China, I
decided to recommence school life in order to improve myself and add to
the skills I had developed in diplomacy. For me, the most attractive
aspect of Fletcher is its firm commitment to collaboration and its
cross-disciplinary approach to common challenges of the world. I know I
made the right choice!
How I plan to use my experience at Fletcher to make a difference in the world:
I will resume my career with the Foreign Ministry of China after
graduating from Fletcher. I am confident my graduate studies at
Fletcher will help me develop a better grounding in the latest
political, economic, business, and legal thinking. I will translate
what I am learning here into my diplomatic practice to the full extent
in the future.
