Dezhou and ASEAN countries deepen humanistic exchanges and promote regional cooperation "full flowering"

Texas and ASEAN, although far away from mountains and seas, have become increasingly close. At the end of June, the Thai Ambassador to China, Attayu Xi Saommu, came to our city to carry out friendly exchanges, visited the National Textile Fragrance Museum Texas Branch and Shandong ASEAN Research Center, and carried out activities with Teachers and students from Texas College.

Deliven to build a northern China -connected ASEAN fulcrum city, the city continues to deepen the cultural exchanges with ASEAN countries, broaden the channels for "going global", and open a new chapter in humanities exchanges and cooperation in the new period.

Frequent exchanges, creating new opportunities

The tomb of King Sulu, located in the Beiying Community of Decheng District, is the only foreign king's tomb in my country that has a complete preservation and descendants. It has a history of more than 600 years.

Since the reform and opening up, the Philippine Foreign Minister, Multiple Ambassador to China, Governor of Sulu Province, and Sulu Corps have visited and exchanged for exchanges. The city sent a group to visit the Philippines a dozen times. "The frequent humanities exchanges with ASEAN countries have brought opportunities to cooperate and develop to a certain extent." Cai Wenxiao, director of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, said that the ASEAN International Ecological City Project invested by Malaysia in Qihe is the best evidence.

Go to overseas and do a good job of "overseas Chinese"

On June 29, the National Overseas Chinese Affairs Office's "Online Foreign Teacher" project training meeting and the unveiling ceremony of the provincial Chinese education base were held at Texas Blue Sky Experimental School. "Chinese education refers to the education of Chinese national language and Chinese culture developed by overseas Chinese and Chinese. The purpose is to inherit the Chinese culture through the promotion of the Chinese national language." In order to cope with the current situation where teachers who failed to teach overseas due to the new coronary pneumonia, this year, the city will rely on the provincial Chinese education base of the Blue Sky Experimental School to undertake the "online faculty" project of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. The new form of Chinese schools is taught through the network platform. From July 13th, it will last until June 30, 2023, covering 6 schools in Indonesia from kindergarten to high school.

Pang Zhixia from the kindergarten of the municipal agency is one of them. "In July 2012, I was fortunate to be sent to the Auspicious Mountain School of the Fuzhou Association in Jakarta, Indonesia. During the 2nd years, I had a deep friendship with the teachers, students and parents there." Pang Zhixia said.

While sending teachers to "go global", overseas students are also actively "walking in." At present, the city has accumulated more than 1,000 people from overseas Chinese teenagers from ASEAN countries, "Chinese Roots Searching", and the Philippine Guangqi School Teachers and Students have come to Texas to study many times.
