Rajshahi University (RU) Vice-Chancellor Prof Md Faridul Islam has travelled to Beijing to attend the World Chinese Language Conference, leading a three-member delegation.

The conference is scheduled to run from November 13 to 15, 2026, at the China National Convention Center in the Chinese capital. The vice-chancellor left Dhaka for Beijing late Wednesday night.

The international event brings together senior university officials, policymakers, academics, researchers and representatives of educational institutions from different countries.

Discussions at the conference will cover ways to promote Chinese language education, encourage cultural exchange and strengthen international cooperation in education and research.

RU’s participation is expected to help expand academic and cultural relations between the university and higher education institutions in China. It may also create opportunities for further cooperation in education and research between the two countries.

The university recently established a Confucius Institute, with the aim of promoting Chinese language education and culture.

The institute also seeks to improve mutual cultural understanding and strengthen educational and research cooperation between Bangladesh and China.

The vice-chancellor’s participation in the conference comes as RU seeks to develop its engagement with Chinese universities and expand opportunities for academic and cultural exchange.
