Minister Bids Farewell
to Students with Chinese
Scholarships
Costa Rica's Vice
Foreign Affairs Minister
Edgar Ugalde on Thursday
bid farewell to the
first batch of 15 Costa
Rican students who are
soon to begin their
study tour in China
under the auspicies of
the Chinese government.
Ugalde asked the young
students to take
advantage of the
opportunity to learn
more about the Chinese
culture and hoped that
they would study hard
and improve themselves,
bearing in mind the
responsibility they have
for their country.
The 15 students have
received scholarships
from China to study at
China's best
universities in Beijing
and Shanghai at all
levels, including
postgraduate, and are to
leave for China on Sept.
5.
After the two countries
established diplomatic
ties on June 1 this
year, China announced
that it will offer 20
scholarships to Costa
Rican students each
year.
Costa Rican President
Oscar Arias will pay his
first official visit to
China in October, said
Ugalde. |
