New venue to learn Chinese opens in Egypt

China Daily  

A Chinese-language club was launched in Cairo on June 15, when awards were given to the winners of the local Chinese Bridge competition for non-Chinese students. "Chinese has become a basic foreign language taught in Egyptian universities," says Mohamed Ayman Ashour, Egyptian vice-minister of higher education and scientific research for university affairs. "Egypt has started teaching Chinese since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Egypt 65 years ago," Liao says, adding that more than 50 universities in China are teaching Arabic now. It took me a year to prepare for this contest," says Omar Abdel-Salam, a senior student of Chinese language at Cairo University. Abdel-Salam, who won first place in the competition that started in May, is among three distinguished winners who will represent Egypt in the Chinese Bridge international contest.
