The Chinese embassy in Armenia held a farewell ceremony Saturday for a
group of Armenian students who will study in Chinese universities
under an agreement between the two countries.

Armenia and China should strengthen cooperation and exchanges in the
field of science and education so as to boost all-round development of
their bilateral ties, Armenian Education Minister Armen Ashotyan said.
“This year, an unprecedented number of Armenian students, 40 students,
are going to study in Chinese universities. Also this year, Armenia
will host 15 students from China” he said.

“We intends to open a branch of the Confucius Institute in the Yerevan
State University, but the biggest project will be the opening of a
Chinese high school,” Ashotyan added.

Armenia has already opened a Confucius Institute in a state language
university. There are also courses on Chinese in other universities,
including the Russian-Armenian University.
