Chairman of Sharjah Institute of Heritage Board Visited ZJSU

On September 18th, President Chen Shoucan met with Abdulaziz Abdulrahman Almusallam, Chairman of the Sharjah Institute of Heritage Board, in Zhejiang Gongshang University(ZJSU), along with the staff from International Office and School of Oriental Language and Culture.

 

Firstly, on behalf of the university, President Chen delivered his warm welcome to Chairman Abdulaziz for his coming to ZJSU again. Then Chen reviewed and concluded the history and fruitful achievements the two sides got after their cooperation and interaction. He also appreciated Chairman Abdulaziz for his huge supports and efforts in pushing forward the cooperation.

He said the cooperation mode would serve as an example for China-Arab exchanges since the two countries began the cooperation and interacted more profoundly. He hoped the two sides would reach multi-cooperation in more fields based on the principle of mindful and sincere collaboration. Afterwards, the two parts had a deep discussion on the unveiling of Arabic Cultural Experience Center and “Confucius Lecture Hall” later.

Chairman Adulaziz expressed his delight to Zhejiang Gongshang University again and gratitude for the thoughtful arrangement. He said the cooperation between the two sides had been on the right track and should not be trapped in the exchange of teachers and students, but expanded to the communications between Sharjah and Zhejiang, even Arab and China. He hoped the collaboration between the two sides would set a record for the communications between two countries as Sharjah Institute of Heritage and ZJSU provided as a platform.

On October 23rd 2017, the memorandum of understanding was signed between the two sides. The collaboration was officially built and Zhejiang Gongshang University Chinese Cultural Center was founded. The opening ceremony and the first lecture of basic Chinese were held in Sharjah Institute of Heritage, UAE. President Chen Shoucan attended the ceremony. Zhejiang Gongshang University was invited as the exhibitor during the 16th Sharjah Heritage Days in April 2018.
