The Belt and Road Advanced Economic and Trade
Legal Talent Internship Base Program
Since September 2017, when the cooperation agreement was signed by the Jing'an District Justice Bureau, the graduate school of East China University of Political Science and Law, and the Jing'an Lawyers Working Committee of the Shanghai Bar Association, the Belt and Road Advanced Economic and Trade Legal Talent Internship Base Program has been successfully held for 5 consecutive sessions.
