To further establish a working platform for international talent exchange programs and resource connectivity, on August 21, Dr. Fu Jihu—a member of the Industrial Advisory Committee of the Department of Food Science and Technology at the National University of Singapore—was invited to lead five international talents from Singapore, Canada, Myanmar, Nigeria, and other countries to visit the Le Dong Jujube Industrial Base and the county museum. Through this experience, they gained firsthand insight into the openness, dynamism, and inclusive spirit of the Hainan Free Trade Port, while also deeply appreciating the industrial sophistication and cultural richness of the Le Dong region.

At the custard apple cultivation base of Hainan Dongyi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., the fields are lush with vibrant greenery and laden with ripe fruits. Leveraging Ledong's uniquely advantageous light and thermal resources, the region's distinctive tropical agricultural advantages are fully on full display. "Is this释迦果 meant to be ripened alongside rice?" asked Dr. Fu Jihu curiously, holding a freshly picked fruit in his hand in fluent Chinese—a question that drew knowing smiles from those present. Members of the international talent exchange delegation not only gained detailed insights into the cultivation management, technological applications, and industrial development models of the释迦果, but also savored freshly harvested tropical fruits with great interest. These innovative cultivation practices and refined operational philosophies have prompted these international visitors—coming from afar—to stop frequently, capture photos, and express high praise for Ledong's innovative agricultural explorations and its high-quality agricultural achievements.

Following the conclusion of their site visit, the exchange delegation proceeded to the Ledong Museum. The museum's comprehensive historical archives, diverse physical exhibits, and vivid scene reconstructions collectively delineate a complete narrative encompassing Ledong's regional evolution, agricultural heritage, the folk culture of the Li ethnic group, and its industrial transformation—thereby gradually unveiling the profound historical and cultural foundation of this county. During the tour, guided by English commentary, international visitors became deeply immersed in the experience, expressing profound admiration for Chinese cultural confidence and its enduring historical legacy. They also voiced great respect for Ledong's rich historical accumulation and continuous cultural transmission, engaging in in-depth exchanges based on their respective cultural experiences. These interactions effectively facilitated the integration of diverse wisdom and fostered cross-cultural dialogue. At the end of the activity, Dr. Fu Jihu remarked that the experience had yielded far greater benefits than anticipated—not only did he witness firsthand the tangible achievements of Ledong's distinctive agricultural sector, but he also gained a profound appreciation for the unique charm of Li culture, shaped by centuries of historical accumulation. This journey has provided him with a fresh perspective on Ledong's industrial advantages, developmental vitality, and future potential, while also fostering heightened expectations for the development prospects of the Hainan Free Trade Port. Moving forward, the Organization Department of the Ledong County Party Committee (County Party Committee Talent Development Bureau) will establish and refine mechanisms for international talent exchange, regularly organize a series of activities—including exchange programs, promotional events, and partnership matchmaking sessions—actively build channels for external cooperation, and optimize the framework for opening up talent recruitment. These efforts will help Ledong's characteristic agricultural industries gain global recognition, amplify the dissemination of its distinctive cultural heritage, and continuously enhance its image as an open and inclusive hub for talent development, thereby significantly elevating the county's international influence and reputation.

为进一步搭建国际人才研学交流和资源互通的工作平台，8月21日，新加坡国立大学食品科技系工业咨询委员会成员符积虎博士受邀携来自新加坡、加拿大、缅甸、尼日利亚等国的5位国际人才，走进乐东释迦果产业基地和县博物馆，切身感受到海南自贸港开放活力和包容气度，真切触碰到乐东这片土地产业的厚度与文化的温度。

在海南东益农业开发有限公司释迦果种植基地，满园翠绿、果实累累，依托乐东得天独厚的光热资源，特色热带农业的优势尽显无遗。“这个释迦果要放在大米里面催熟吗？”符积虎博士手捧刚摘下的果子，用流利的中文好奇地发问，引来大家会心一笑。国际人才交流团成员一边细致了解释迦果的种植管理、技术应用和产业发展模式，一边饶有兴致地品尝新鲜采摘的热带水果。新颖的种植业态与精细化的经营理念，令这些远道而来的国际友人频频驻足，纷纷拍照记录，对乐东农业的创新探索与品质成果给予高度赞许。

结束基地观摩后，交流团来到乐东博物馆。馆内翔实的史料、丰富的实物陈列与生动的场景复原，串联起乐东的地域沿革、农耕传承、黎族民俗文化以及产业迭代变迁的完整脉络，层层铺展出县域深厚的历史人文底色。参观过程中，在英语解说中，国际友人沉浸其中，深刻感叹中华文化自信与历史悠长，对乐东历史的厚重积淀与绵延传承深表钦佩，并结合各自国家的文化经验展开深入交流，有效促进了多元智慧的交融与跨文化对话。

活动结束后，符积虎博士感慨道，此行收获远超预期——不仅零距离见证了乐东特色农业的发展实效，更深刻感悟到黎族文化历经岁月沉淀的独特魅力，对乐东的产业优势、发展活力和未来潜力形成了全新的认知，对海南自贸港的建设前景也有了更深的期待。

下一步，乐东县委组织部（县委人才发展局）将建立健全国际人才交流机制，常态化组织开展交流、推介、对接合作等系列活动，积极搭建对外合作渠道，健全人才对外开放体系，助力乐东特色农业产业走向世界、特色文化传播远扬，持续擦亮开放包容的人才发展名片，全面提升县域的国际影响力与美誉度。
