The Embassy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in China held a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony between the Scholarship Office at the UAE Presidential Court and a number of leading Chinese universities in Beijing on May 16. These agreements aim to deepen the collaboration between the UAE and China in developing young Emirati talents and equipping them to contribute meaningfully to the growth and progress of various sectors.

In his welcoming remarks, Ambassador of the UAE to China Hussain bin Ibrahim Al Hammadi said, "Today's signing of [the] Memorandum of Understanding is more than a legal formality. It is a powerful declaration of [a] shared vision. It reflects our mutual belief that education is the most sustainable and empowering bridge between our nations - and that investing in our youth is the most secure and promising path to a brighter future," the ambassador said in his speech. 

The "Hundred Schools Project" now reaches more than 71,000 Emirati students across 171 public schools, the ambassador shared.
