Beijing, November 7 (Xinhua) — A signing ceremony for a cooperation agreement was held on Wednesday between the School of Foreign Languages at Beijing International Studies University (BISHU) and the Russian Cultural Center (RCC) in Beijing, marking the transition of contacts between the two sides from one-time projects to regular and systematic interaction, according to a post on the RCC's public account on the Chinese social media platform WeChat.
As noted by the RCC in Beijing, the document was signed following a visit by center representatives to the School of Foreign Languages at the University of Foreign Languages. During this visit, which was the first for the center's staff, the parties agreed to explore new formats for joint work.
Zhang Jijun, head of the Party Committee of the School of Foreign Languages at PUIL, introduced the guests to the history and special features of the educational institution. She noted that the school, founded in 1959, is the first specialized school in China offering in-depth study of foreign languages. It teaches seven foreign languages, and its mission is to develop well-rounded, internationally oriented personnel.
According to her, since the launch of Russian language courses in 2018 and the bilingual Russian-English program in 2021, the school has graduated approximately 150 students with knowledge of Russian, who have repeatedly achieved outstanding success in various national competitions and olympiads. In August of this year, with the assistance of the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing, seven students from the school visited Vladivostok as part of a summer camp program, which allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of Russian culture.
Tatyana Urzhumtseva, head of the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing, emphasized that establishing close ties with schools is one of the school's long-term priorities. The school's students' victories in the national "Golden Key" competition last year clearly demonstrate the high quality of Russian language teaching.
In addition, T. Urzhumtseva made a number of proposals for cooperation to the school, including organizing Olympiads in Beijing to select applicants for Russian universities and holding a variety of cultural and artistic events. -0-
