President of the University of Bahrain (UoB) Dr. Ebrahim Janahi has lauded the efforts exerted by the Confucius Institute at University of Bahrain (CIUOB) to teach Chinese language for those who are interested from the private and public sectors. He added that learning the Chinese language would open wider horizons for the learners to get to know about the Chinese civilisation, given its advanced cultural, scientific and economic aspects.

During a ceremony held by CIUOB recently to honour 39 participants, who passed the second course for learning the Chinese language, Dr. Janahi expressed his delight for the fruitful results of a short period of cooperation with the institute.

He congratulated the participants, and then presented them with certificates of appreciation.

UoB Vice President for planning and development and the Bahraini Director of CIUOB, Dr. Waheeb Al Nasser expressed his delight with the institute's concrete efforts, highlighting the historical cooperation between the Kingdom of Bahrain and China.

He thanked all the staff at the Institute on their great efforts at organising the ceremony.

Chinese Director of CIUOB Wang Jian Kang said that by graduating the second batch, the University has achieved part of its objectives after a year of its inauguration, in cooperation with Bahrain and China. He expressed thanks to UoB represented by Dr. Janahi.

The participants expressed happiness with their linguistic gains during four months, and then they performed a song in Chinese. The ceremony was attended by Uob Vice Presidents, deans, UoB affiliates and a number of invitees.

UoB signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Confucius Institute in 2014 to establish a branch of the institute in UoB within the Bahraini-Chinese cultural cooperation framework.
