STORYLINE:

The Chinese-Tunisian Forum on Humanities Exchanges kicked off in Tunis on Thursday, focusing on cultural cooperation and dialogue.

During the three-day forum, hundreds of officials, scholars and local students discuss topics including the mutual learning between Chinese and Arab civilizations, literary translation, and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

"Carthage University began cultural exchanges with China half a century ago," said Nadia Mzoughi, president of Tunisia's Carthage University, at the opening ceremony.

"Our Higher Institute of Languages of Tunis has been engaged in teaching Chinese for decades and accepts Chinese students who come to study the Arabic language every year," Mzoughi added.

Wan Li, Chinese Ambassador to Tunisia, said that more and more Chinese universities have launched student exchange programs and research cooperation with Tunisian higher education institutions.

Wan added that culture and people-to-people exchanges and cooperation between China and Tunisia have played an important role in enhancing mutual understanding and trust between the people of the two countries.

Tunisia is one of the first Arab and African countries to offer Chinese language majors at its universities. Currently, Chinese language courses are offered in 26 high schools across the country, and China is preparing to establish the second Confucius Institute in Tunisia, according to Wan.

He stressed that China is ready to work together with African countries to launch a Cultural Silk Road program as well as an initiative of cooperation on innovation in radio, TV, and audiovisual programs, to promote the implementation of the outcomes of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.

The forum is hosted by Carthage University and its Confucius Institute.
