The Belarusian Embassy in China held an education forum in
Beijing on Monday, aiming to attract more Chinese students to study
in Belarus.
The Belarusian Ambassador to China Anatoli Kharlap said that
Belarus enjoys three advantages in its higher education, namely
high quality, low tuitions and a stable social environment.
"There are about 1,000 Chinese students in Belarusian
universities, and we are willing to receive more," Kharlap
said.
"We hope the number of Chinese students can be doubled by the
end of 2007 and reach 5,000 within five years," Kharlap said.
Presidents from eight key Belarusian universities also attended
the forum. They briefed the guests on conditions and recruitment
policies of their universities.
