1The education authorities in Saudi Arabia have reportedly instructed all public and private secondary schools to teach two Chinese language classes each week.Experts said that it will have“significant implications”in providing students with opportunities to learn Chinese and experience diverse culture. It also shows the two countries' increasing communication and cooperation in the field of education.

2This is“positive”news for Chinese language education developing in Saudi Arabia,as the schools have welcomed more than 7 million students in the new semester, Chen Ming,a professor who teaches Chinese at King Saud University said.

3The teaching plan has “significant implications”and is also another “major initiative”since 2019, when Saudi Arabia agreed to include the Chinese language in the curriculum (全部課程) for Saudi schools and universities, a move to enhance the students'cultural diversity.

4With the popularization of Chinese language courses in primary and secondary schools, it can“provide more employment opportunities”for students majoring in Chinese,and also encourage more people to learn Chinese.

5Although Chinese language education in Saudi Arabia has stepped into a period of accelerated development,it's still uneven in various regions of the country.For instance,in the 13 regions of Saudi Arabia, with the population mainly concentrated in Riyadh and Jeddah,the Chinese language classes are also mainly set up in the two cities.

6 Chinese language learning is currently experiencing a surge in popularity among the people in Saudi Arabia, as many of them believe that they can gain more chances in the future if they can speak Chinese.

7China and Saudi Arabia agreed to continue to make the China-Saudi relationship a priority in their respective foreign relations, and to build a model of solidarity and cooperation for mutual benefits among developing countries.
