Confucius Institute contributes to cultural exchange

ISMAILIA, Egypt - Mohamed Abdel-Rahman, an engineer who works for a Chinese company operating in Egypt, was bursting with excitement when talking about the training program he has just joined at a Confucius Institute in Egypt's northeastern province of Ismailia.

"It is a good opportunity for skill and career development," he said.

Confucius Institute at the Suez Canal University has organized a training program for the Egyptian and Chinese employees of China's fiberglass giant Jushi which operates in the Suez Canal region to develop their administrative and leading skills and boost their knowledge of the Egyptian and the Chinese cultures.
