To proactively address the complex and volatile international environment and enhance risk management capabilities for overseas institutions, the China Construction Bank Research Center (Institute) and the School of International Economics at the China Foreign Affairs University successfully co-hosted the “China Construction Bank Overseas Institution Risk Management Project Kickoff Meeting and International Situation Analysis Session” at the China Foreign Affairs University on the afternoon of October 27, 2025.

At the outset of the meeting, Professor Ou Minggang, Dean of the School of International Economics at the China Foreign Affairs University, presided over the proceedings and delivered a welcome address, extending a warm welcome to the attendees from China Construction Bank. Director Bian Peng from the China Construction Bank Training Center (Research Institute) introduced the attending representatives from CCB. Subsequently, Song Xiaojun, Deputy Director (Vice President) of the CCB Training Center (Research Institute), delivered a keynote speech outlining the background, key objectives, and strategic significance of this research project. Dean Ou Minggang, as the project leader, made a statement on behalf of the CFSA team, pledging full support to ensure the smooth progress and high-quality completion of the research.

During the discussion session on the current situation, both sides engaged in in-depth exchanges on key issues including the global geopolitical landscape, the international economic and financial order, and the international legal compliance environment. Dean Song Xiaojun initiated the discussion with the theme “The International Situation and China's 15th Five-Year Plan,” exploring the external challenges China will face in its new development stage and potential solutions. Experts and scholars from the China Foreign Affairs University contributed cutting-edge and insightful analyses based on their specialized fields, providing robust theoretical support and a broad international perspective for the research project.

The final interactive session was highly engaging, with researchers from both sides thoroughly discussing specific challenges encountered in overseas risk management practices. This laid a solid foundation for the pragmatic advancement of subsequent research projects.

This conference marks the official launch of the risk management research project for China Construction Bank's overseas institutions. It not only deepens the collaboration between the bank and the university but also provides robust intellectual support for enhancing CCB's global risk prevention and control capabilities and serving the national strategy of high-level opening-up through cross-disciplinary intellectual exchange.
