PESHAWAR:
A China Study Centre has been established at University of Peshawar.

Chinese Ambassador Sun Weidong visited the varsity in this regard on Thursday.

The ambassador met UoP Vice Chancellor Rasul Jan and presented a cheque to him at the Chinese Language, Culture and Research Centre.

The study centre will encourage and promote research and study on the Chinese history and culture. The centre will also strengthen existing Pak-China friendship.


The centre would offer Chinese language course and degree courses for research on China, starting from September.

“Following China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the study centre will offer enormous help to industrialists by providing them the necessary skills in their subject of interest,” Jan said in his welcome address to the Chinese delegation.
