A group of experts on Thursday highlighted the importance of China-U.S. cooperation on education, and urged the two sides to enhance ties in this area.
"I firmly believe that you must develop a linkage in education and culture before you have a stable business relationship going forward," said former Missouri Governor Bob Holden at a panel discussion of the Fifth China-U.S. Governors Forum.
While he was a professor at Webster University, Holden helped bring the first Confucius Institute to the state of Missouri.
