The Mohammed V University in Rabat, through the Confucius Institute, and the Beijing Foreign Studies University pledged on Friday to reinvigorate the training of specialized skills in tourism management, languages and student exchange.

This commitment was expressed on the occasion of the visit by Yin Li, Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Committee for the Municipality of Beijing, to the Confucius Institute in Rabat.

The two parties are linked by a bilateral cooperation agreement aimed at students with a good command of the Chinese language, through a four-year certificate course in both China and Morocco, with the aim of contributing to bilateral exchange and joint development.

The agreement reflects the desire of both parties to consolidate bilateral cooperation, particularly in the fields of training and scientific research, said vice-president in charge of cooperation and research at Mohammed V University in Rabat, Ismail Kassou.

Highlighting the strength of cooperation and partnership between the two parties, Kassou recalled that the two universities had been collaborating for years in the field of hosting and training Chinese students in Arabic within the Faculty of Education.

For his part, Li said the meeting would provide an opportunity to discuss ways of developing bilateral cooperation in the fields of language and tourism skills training.

The Chinese official expressed his satisfaction with the close cooperation between Rabat’s Mohammed V University and Beijing Foreign Studies University, notably with the creation of the Confucius Institute in 2009.
