STORYLINE:

Tunisia on Wednesday celebrated this year's United Nations Chinese Language Day, which falls on April 20, by holding a cultural event in its capital city.
   
The celebration was held in the Confucius Institute at Carthage University, where participants queued up to experience Chinese calligraphy, inscription rubbing and tie-dye, or take a quiz on Chinese culture.
   
The event attracted Chinese culture enthusiasts, interested locals, and students studying the Chinese language at Carthage University. This provided a chance for Tunisians to gain a deeper understanding of the Asian country.
   
Duan Shuk, a Tunisian college student majoring in Chinese, told Xinhua at the event that she started learning this language in her first year of high school. She hopes to study in China one day.
   
Ru Xin, the Chinese director of the Confucius Institute, said that proficiency in Chinese would boost a college student's career prospects as interaction between China and Tunisia increases.
