A Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation in the Sectors of Higher Education and Sciences for the period 2022-2026 was signed today, at a special ceremony held at the Ministry of Education, by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth, Mr. Mr. Prodromos Prodromos, on behalf of the Republic of Cyprus, and the Ambassador of China to Cyprus, Mr. Liu Yantao, on behalf of the People's Republic of China.
The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding is part of the efforts of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth (MESY) to upgrade and strengthen relations between Cyprus and other countries in the fields of Higher Education and Science.
In accordance with the government's policy on education, the Ministry's actions aim to promote Cyprus as an International Educational and Scientific Centre of Higher Education. In this context, the continuous strengthening of Cyprus-China relations in Higher Education is a priority for the Ministry of Education, given that China is one of the major centres in the movement of internationalisation of university studies, research and innovation.
The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding demonstrates the efforts made by the two countries to strengthen cooperation between them in the fields of Higher Education and highlights the long-standing and close friendship between the Cypriot and Chinese people.
The Memorandum can serve as a catalyst for strengthening exchanges of delegations both at the state level and at the level of Higher Education Institutions, for the joint offering of curricula in the framework of initiatives of the Higher Education Institutions of the two countries, for offering language teaching programmes, for carrying out joint research projects and generally for strengthening synergies in the fields of Higher Education.
