RIYADH: King Abdulaziz University has introduced a new four-week course, “Discover China and Learn Chinese Language Basics,” through its Institute of Chinese Science and Culture, in partnership with Safia, a Jeddah Valley subsidiary.

The program is being conducted at the Sheikh Saleh Kamel Hall within the Islamic Economics Institute.

Institute Dean Dr. Muhannad bin Ghazi Abed said that the course served a dual purpose —  teaching basic Chinese language skills while providing cultural insights.

This initiative aligns with Saudi Vision 2030’s emphasis on human capital development.

Designed for beginners, the program aims to build a solid foundation for further Chinese language studies.

The Institute of Chinese Science and Culture at King Abdulaziz University was established to facilitate knowledge and technology transfer between Saudi Arabia and China.

It also plays a crucial role in fostering academic and cultural exchange between Saudi and Chinese research institutions, while leveraging China’s academic advances.
