Chinese university launches Jordan research center

Xinhua, May 24, 2015 Adjust font size:

A Jordan Research Center was established in the China University of Geosciences (CUG) on Sunday to provide advice on government and industrial cooperation between the two countries.

The center, probably the first Chinese institution that focuses on Jordan studies, will research on the Middle East country's politics, economy, higher education, religion and culture, geological environment and Sino-Jordan relations.

The center is expected to be a think tank that offers policy advice on inter-government cooperation and strategic consultation on industrial cooperation, said Ma Changqian, head of CUG's international cooperation department.

CUG currently has partnership with eight Jordanese universities.

Jordan's Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Labib Khadra was present at the launching ceremony on Sunday. Endi
