作为联谊会核心成员，中国美术学院刚果（金）籍博士校友泰索的参与备受关注。泰索于2012年获中国政府奖学金赴中国美术学院深造，先后获得硕士、博士学位，现任金沙萨国立美术学院（Académie des Beaux-Arts de Kinshasa）教授，并担任多项学术职务。在校期间，他曾任非洲留学生校友会主席，毕业创作与学术成果广受认可。归国后，他持续深耕刚中艺术教育交流领域，目前正积极筹备两国艺术家联合展览等务实项目。
As a core member of the association, the participation of Meno Kapela Tresor has drawn attention. Tresor was awarded the Chinese Government Scholarship in 2012 to pursue advanced studies at the China Academy of Art, where he progressed to earn his master's and doctoral degrees. He is a professor at the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Kinshasa and holds multiple academic positions. During his studies, he served as the President of the African International Student Association, and his graduation artwork and academic achievements were widely recognized. Upon returning to his home country, he has remained dedicated to advancing DRC exchanges in art education and is currently actively organizing projects such as joint exhibitions for artists from both nations.

Tresor's growth is a vivid example of the China Academy of Art's achievements in cultivating international students over nearly five decades. At the 2021 commencement ceremony, he stated, "Wherever we are, we always represent the China Academy of Art." Now, he stays true to his original aspirations through professional practice, taking actions to advance DRC-China civilization dialogue and deepen bilateral friendship.

中国美术学院培养的国际校友正成为促进中外合作与文明互鉴的重要力量。以泰索为代表的刚果（金）籍校友，凭借艺术专长与教育实践，持续推动中非在创作、研究及人才培养等领域的务实合作，促进了文明对话与理解。期待这条由艺术教育延伸出的人文纽带，将为中刚关系走深走实注入持久动能，也为构建人类命运共同体贡献积极的人文力量。
International alumni of the China Academy of Art are becoming an important force in promoting China-foreign cooperation and mutual learning among civilizations. Alumni from the DRC, represented by figures like Tresor, have been advancing pragmatic cooperation between China and Africa in fields such as artistic creation, academic research, and talent cultivation through their artistic expertise and educational practices, thereby promoting civilization dialogue and mutual understanding. It is hoped that this people-to-people bond, extended through art education, will inject sustained momentum into the deepening and solidification of DRC-China relations and contribute positive cultural strength to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
