Five years ago, President Mohammad and I jointly launched the "100 Schools Project" for Chinese language teaching in the United Arab Emirates. Now, I am pleased to see that "learning Chinese" has become a new trend in the UAE and has cultivated a group of small ambassadors for China Arab exchanges like you.
Teenagers represent the future of China Arab friendly relations. Welcome to China to see pandas and climb the Great Wall. When you grow up, you will go to China to study university. We also welcome more young people from the United Arab Emirates to learn Chinese and understand China. We welcome them to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and root the seeds of friendship in your hearts, contributing to the creation of a better tomorrow in China Arab relations.
As of now, 171 schools in the United Arab Emirates have offered Chinese language courses, with 71000 students learning Chinese.
