Deputy Director Mo Jihong Meets the First Secretary of Cuban Embassy in Beijing
On January 21, 2014, Deputy Director of CASS Law Institute, Professor Mo Jihong, met with the First Secretary of Cuban Embassy in Beijing, Mr. Carlos Enrique Suare Koung at the CASS Law Institute. Professor Liu Renwen, Head of the Criminal Law Department of the CASS Law Institute, also attended the meeting. During the meeting, Professor Mo gave Mr. Koung an introduction to the basic functions of the CASS Law Institute and the important role it plays in the construction of the rule of law in China. In return, Mr. Koung briefed his Chinese hosts on the current situation of legal research, especially the impact of the economic reform on legal reform, in Cuba. He pointed out that China, in order to adapt to economic reform, had adopted a series of legal reform and accumulated precious experiences in this process. Since Cuba and China had similar social system and reform objectives, the Chinese experience was very useful to Cuba. He hoped that the CASS Law Institute would cooperate with the Embassy in its effort to promote the legal exchange between the two countries. Professor Mo agreed with Mr. Koung on his proposal. The hosts and guest explored and reached preliminary agreement on the concrete methods of cooperation. During the meeting, Professor Liu Renwen expressed his opinion on relevant issues of criminal law.
