A cooperation agreement was signed between the Confucius Institute at Tajik National University (TNU) and the Dushanbe Branch of the National University of Science and Technology MISiS (Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys) in Dushanbe on January 20. The agreement focuses on the study of the Chinese language.
The document was inked by Muminjon Jourayev, Director of the MISiS Branch in Dushanbe, and Sun Jin, Director of the Confucius Institute at TNU.
According to MISiS, the agreement comes in response to Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon’s recent address, emphasizing the need to create conditions for learning foreign languages. The agreement aims to promote the "specialization + Chinese language" model, fostering stronger ties between Tajikistan and China.
The deal is designed to enhance the exchange and cooperation in education and culture, with a focus on advancing Chinese language teaching in the country’s higher education institutions. It also aims to support the quality of education and develop youth in the spirit of friendship and mutual understanding.
The agreement outlines that all educational and cultural activities under the agreement will be conducted on a non-commercial basis while strictly adhering to the country’s laws. The Confucius Institute will be responsible for providing scientific and methodological support, while also actively facilitating further collaboration between MISiS and universities in China.
