NSF Director Arden L. Bement, Jr., with Liu Yangong, a state councilor of the PRC.

NSF Director Arden L. Bement, Jr., shares a light-hearted moment with Liu Yandong, state councilor for science, technology, education, sport and culture for the People's Republic of China after the signing of a formal agreement to renew the U.S.-China Cooperative Arrangement for NSF's Summer Institute in China Program. This agreement enables the continuation of China's participation in NSF's East Asian Pacific Institute (EAPSI) program. EAPSI introduces U.S. graduate students to East Asia and Pacific science and engineering in the context of a research setting in host laboratories in China, Australia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore or Taiwan, to help students initiate scientific relationships that will better enable future collaboration with foreign counterparts.
