Under the agreement, Xinjiang and CUPL will deepen cooperation in several areas. These include policy consultation platform development, rule of law construction, talent exchange, and paired-up aid. The focus will be on fully and accurately implementing the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era and promoting the rule of law across the region.

The institute, a key pillar of this collaboration, will leverage the strengths of both sides. It aims to establish a high-level policy consultation and service platform for governing Xinjiang in accordance with law. And it will integrate functions such as a top-tier think tank, scientific research, talent cultivation, social services, and international exchanges, thus providing intellectual support for the construction of law-based governance.
