The 13th President University “China Harbour Engineering Company Limited Scholarship” Award Ceremony and Employment Cooperation MoU Signing Ceremony
On November 5, 2026, the 13th President University “China Harbour Engineering Company Limited (CHEC) Scholarship” Award Ceremony was held in Jakarta.
During the event, PT China Harbour Indonesia (CHI) and President University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Employment Cooperation, marking an expansion of their partnership beyond scholarship support into areas such as internships, recruitment, and talent development.
The event was attended by Mr. Liu Xiang, Director of China Communications Construction Group (CCCG); Mr. Sun Shangbin, Chairman of the China Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia; and Dr. Fransiska Wiratikusuma, S.S., MTCSOL., Ph.D., Vice Rector for Partnership at President University. They were joined by nearly 80 university representatives, including faculty members, staff, and students, who gathered to witness this important occasion.
Dr. Fransiska Wiratikusuma expressed sincere gratitude to CCCG and CHEC for their generous support of the university.
She emphasized that what makes this commitment particularly meaningful is its continuity over the past 13 years.
The scholarship represents not only financial assistance but also encouragement and confidence in the potential of young students.
She congratulated the scholarship recipients and encouraged them to cherish this achievement, remain committed to their studies, and strive to give back to society after graduation.
She also expressed her hope that the newly signed MoU on Employment Cooperation will serve as an opportunity to further strengthen collaboration in various areas, including internship opportunities, recruitment, industry seminars, and joint projects.
Through these initiatives, both parties aim to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry practice, provide Indonesian youth with broader opportunities for growth and development, contribute to Indonesia’s development, and further strengthen the bonds of friendship between Indonesia and China.
Mr. Sun Shangbin stated that the scholarship established by CHEC, a subsidiary of CCCG, at President University serves as an excellent example of how Chinese enterprises in Indonesia can support education and fulfill their corporate social responsibility.
He noted that President University has continuously promoted Chinese-language education and is committed to nurturing young talent with a strong understanding of the languages and cultures of both countries.
These efforts help build a pool of future talent to support economic, trade, and cultural cooperation between China and Indonesia.
He further highlighted the vast potential for cooperation between the two countries and the growing market demand for local talent with multidisciplinary skills and cross-cultural capabilities.
The China Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia will continue to support the development of Indonesian youth and promote university-industry exchanges.
He also encouraged more Chinese enterprises to follow CHEC’s example by actively fulfilling their social responsibilities while developing their core businesses and expanding their operations.
Through these efforts, enterprises can jointly promote mutually beneficial cooperation, demonstrate the image of responsible Chinese companies, and contribute to the long-term development of China-Indonesia relations.
Mr. Liu Xiang extended his congratulations to the students receiving this year’s scholarships. He highlighted that CCCG has maintained a strong presence in Indonesia for 30 years, consistently pursuing business development alongside its commitment to social responsibility.
During this time, CCCG has undertaken a number of landmark infrastructure projects and generated approximately 120,000 job opportunities in Indonesia.
It has also continued to implement its “CCCG Dream-Building” series of public welfare initiatives, with the “CHEC Scholarship” at President University serving as one of its flagship programs.
Through these efforts, CCCG has made tangible contributions to strengthening connectivity between China and Indonesia in infrastructure, institutional cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges.
Looking ahead, Mr. Liu emphasized that CCCG will continue to be guided by the important consensus reached by the leaders of China and Indonesia, while upholding its cooperation philosophy: “Responding to Indonesia’s needs with CCCG’s strengths, building on shared understanding, promoting mutual empowerment, and pursuing win-win outcomes.”
As CCCG continues to contribute to the high-quality development of Indonesia’s infrastructure, it will also further strengthen its commitment to social responsibility and help build a high-level China-Indonesia community with a shared future.
CHI, as CHEC’s local subsidiary in Indonesia, has been rooted in the Indonesian market for 30 years and leverages CCCG’s global resources and local operational capabilities to actively contribute to the country’s infrastructure development.
At the same time, the company remains committed to supporting the growth of Indonesian youth and nurturing local talent.
Established in 2010, the “CHEC Scholarship” at President University was the first scholarship program established by a Chinese enterprise at a university in Indonesia.
At its 13th Award Ceremony, the program has benefited 225 students in total. Over the past 13 years, the program has continued to expand its reach and influence, becoming one of CHI’s flagship corporate social responsibility initiatives in Indonesia and an important platform for promoting educational development and people-to-people exchanges between China and Indonesia.
With the signing of the MoU on Employment Cooperation, the partnership between CHI and President University will further expand beyond scholarship support to encompass internship opportunities, recruitment, industry seminars, and professional guidance.
CHI will actively work to advance the implementation of the cooperation initiatives, strengthen the connection between academic learning and industry practice, and provide Indonesian youth with broader opportunities for personal and professional development.
Through these efforts, the company aims to contribute to the development of local talent and expand employment opportunities for young Indonesians.
