Taiwan Tech President Jia-Yush Yen stated during the signing ceremony that with the development of technology and industrial transformation, students need not only the essential academic and technical skills but also a strengthened liberal arts education and international perspective, enabling them to better adapt to the rapidly changing world. He pointed out that while Taiwan Tech students possess solid practical and technological application skills, there is still room for improvement in responding to international trends and engaging in cross-disciplinary communication. Therefore, through Radio Taiwan Intl's professional resources and international talent exchange, forums and lectures will play an important role in fostering students' comprehensive competencies.

Rui-Chang Zhang, Director-General of Radio Taiwan Intl, stated that Radio Taiwan Intl is the first Chinese-language news media in the world to receive the JTI (Journalism Trust Initiative) certification and is also actively collaborating with academia. Taiwan Tech is the eighth university with which Radio Taiwan Intl has signed a Memorandum of Understanding. He humorously described, “Although Taiwan Tecj is the eighth university to sign the agreement, it’s like the “Eight Great Sects Gathering at Mount Guangming”, and Taiwan Tech is undoubtedly the “Shaolin Temple” among them”. He further pointed out that Radio Taiwan Intl has foreign-language hosts from around the world, and these international talents are expected to provide Taiwan Tech students with valuable opportunities to broaden their global perspective. He also looks forward to Taiwan tech fully utilizing CNR’s resources to help students gain practical knowledge in news communication and technological applications, driving more opportunities for innovation.

Additionally, Taiwan Tech’s Director of International Affairs, Ying-Jung Ye, stated that Taiwan Tech has previously organized forums related to international current events, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, which not only attracted students from Central and Eastern Europe but also garnered attention from international students from Indonesia, India, and other countries. This demonstrates the students' strong interest in international news and global affairs. She also hopes that future collaboration with Radio Taiwan Intl will further expand students’ global perspectives, offering more diverse and practical learning opportunities, from visits to forums.
