The CSU Indonesia Metallurgical Engineering International Master's Program is a tripartite cooperation between Central South University and the Indonesian government and Greenway Group. It has not only established friendly relations between China and Indonesia, but also built an international platform for the world and the future. The goal is to make the international master class project as famous as the "Ya'an Wanzhou High speed Railway", and to create a model of "the Belt and Road" cooperation in running schools.
