A SHORT WELCOME SPEECH Well, I would like, on behalf of XXX University, to extend my warm welcome to all distinguished students coming from all over the world! As the saying goes,” How happy we are, to meet friends from afar!” We are looking forward to studying with you all. I have heard that various countries are represented here. It’s a great opportunity for us to learn from people of diffident cultures, background, religions and values. We may be dreaming of developing a professional career in international organizations or considering becoming successful in this business world or in academic circles. That’s admirable. Let’s struggle together to accumulate knowledge and skills for realizing our dreams! Last but not least, I hope our studies, friendship, and interactions in this university will be instrumental in solving these many difficult problems we face in today’s word! Thank you for your attention!
