Kennedy Gastorn, secretary-general of the Asian-African Legal Consultative Organization — a global governmental group for international law and cooperation in legal matters — said his organization and the university maintain important ties, including many leadership positions filled by its alumni.

"The resumption of legal education in Wuhan University took place in a cradle of optimism and marked a true turning point in the scholastic history of China," Gastorn said, with its students in international law setting "a benchmark for other institutions of higher learning". Gastorn also highlighted the law school's efforts promoting Asian-African solidarity in areas such as customary international law and international cyberspace law, and expressed the hope the university and his organization would further strengthen cooperation on all issues of common concern.

"We in AALCO are committed in reaching out to the next generation of international lawyers and scholars from Wuhan University," he said.
