The first students at
the Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) branch in Astana International University has begun
their studies, marking a new stage in the development of humanitarian
cooperation between Kazakhstan and China. One hundred young Kazakh students
will train to become translators and Chinese language teachers, learning from
top Chinese instructors through double-degree programs from both countries.
They will also have access to all BLCU’s educational resources and proven
teaching methods, ensuring academic mobility. The branch, which opened in
Astana this summer during a ceremony attended by both countries’ leaders, is
the third BLCU branch globally. University representatives emphasize the
branch’s importance, highlighting the strong ties between the two countries.
«BLCU has three branch campuses in Bangkok,
Tokyo, and Astana. We are confident that the BLCU branch in Kazakhstan will
strengthen relations between the two countries not only in education and
science but also in areas such as economics and culture. President Tokayev also
studied at this university and has repeatedly demonstrated his excellent
command of Chinese, impressing millions of Chinese people. I believe that his
personal story serves as an inspiration for current students, showing them new
horizons. We hope they will embrace the cultures of both Kazakhstan and China
during their studies,» noted Zhang Baojun, Vice President of the Beijing
Language and Culture University.
