Professor Amjad Dheifallah Al-Nasser, Vice President of Yarmouk University, received Mr. Cheng Yongru, the Economic and Commercial Attaché at the Chinese Embassy in Amman, along with his accompanying delegation, to discuss ways to enhance cooperation between Yarmouk University and the Chinese Embassy in Amman.

During the meeting, Al-Nasser emphasized Yarmouk University’s constant aspiration to expand its network of relations with various Chinese academic and economic institutions, in line with its future vision and as part of the long-standing friendship between Jordan and China.

He also highlighted the university’s establishment, its faculties and research centers, as well as its significant contribution to the development and advancement of the higher education sector in Jordan.

He added that the relationship between Yarmouk University and the Chinese Embassy takes various forms, and that mutual visits have continued without interruption.

He pointed out that just two weeks ago, the Cultural Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Amman visited the university to discuss ways of strengthening academic and cultural cooperation, and attended a series of Chinese cultural events organized by the Chinese Cultural Center in Amman at Al-Hussein Bin Talal Library, as part of the Chinese “Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Al-Nasser pointed out that Yarmouk University was among the pioneering universities to offer Chinese language courses, by integrating a set of foreign language subjects such as French, Spanish, Turkish, German, and Chinese into the study plans of its undergraduate programs.

He stressed that this approach reflects the university’s belief in the importance of equipping its students with skills that open up additional opportunities for them, enabling them to enter various labor markets and compete efficiently and confidently.

For his part, Cheng Yongru stated that this visit comes within the framework of the partnership-based relationship between the Chinese Embassy and its various departments with Yarmouk University, which he described as one of the distinguished Jordanian and Arab universities with a long-standing academic history.
