Congratulatory Letter

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of
Confucius Institute, I am very pleased to receive a letter signed by 286
university presidents and Confucius Institute directors of 90 countries
and region, which informed me of the first ever global Confucius
Institute Day to be held in five continents concurrently. I wish to
extend my warm congratulations and sincere greetings to you and all the
teachers and students of Confucius Institutes!
You said in your letter that Confucius
Institutes have become an ongoing symbol for China’s efforts toward
world peace and international cooperation, represent an essential link
between the people of China and the citizens of other countries, and you
are excited by the bright future we share, which I highly appreciate.
During the past 10 years, Confucius Institutes have been vigorously
providing Chinese language teaching and cultural exchange activities,
playing an important role in promoting mutual learning between and among
various civilizations in the world and strengthening mutual
understanding and friendship between Chinese people and peoples of other
countries. You have devoted tremendous passion and efforts to enhancing
the dissemination of culture and knowledge as well as heart-to-heart
communication between human beings. It is an endeavor of great
significance.
The splendid cultures created by peoples of
different countries are the shared treasures of mankind. We shall
rejuvenate them in today’s world through exchanges and innovative
development. Confucius Institutes belong to China, and they also belong
to the world. Chinese government and people will consistently support
the growth of Confucius Institutes. Let’s try our best to push forward
