The director of Saudi Cultural & Social Affairs Mr. Alshraim expressed his willingness to consider a “Memorandum of Understanding” to build a partnership with our school and work together gradually in a specific cooperation plan that devoted to carry out other educational cooperation to train Saudi students as well as the teaching staff in different majors of science and technology using English as a medium of instruction, also he emphasized that Saudi specialists in Arabic may wish to assist Chinese learners of Arabic language if both sides support the idea. Whereas, the Saudi cultural supervisor of administration & Finance Department Mr. Abdulwahab suggested a very interested idea about designing practical training and scientific visits in English language for Saudi students prior their graduation.
