“As more Pakistani youngsters learn Chinese, more Chinese are interested in learning about Pakistani culture and language.
We, as Chinese students, are working hard to learn Urdu so that we may interact more effectively with our iron brothers.” According to a story published by Gwadar Pro on Saturday, Ren Ziyi (Ibtisam), the first prize winner of the Urdu Language Essay Competition for Chinese Students, said.
On September 30, the Silk Road Cities Alliance held a successful Chinese-Urdu Essay Writing Competition, which was sponsored by the Pakistani embassy in China and organized by the Silk Road Cities Alliance.
According to a report, more Chinese youth are interested in learning Urdu. The competition organisation section has invited Pakistani students to write essays in Chinese and Chinese students to write essays in Urdu on the theme of marking the 70th anniversary of the beginning of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China. The programme has garnered great feedback from young people in both countries since its inception in July.
Judges were Pakistani and Chinese diplomats, Minzu University of China (MUC) academics, and Urdu teachers from Pakistan Embassy College in Beijing. In the new phase of CPEC, the two countries are continually boosting their collaboration in infrastructure construction and agriculture. She thought Urdu was very significant as a communication bridge, and she was eager to contribute more to this beloved connection by utilizing language benefits.
