尹冬梅代表上海外国语大学、中阿改革发展研究中心向完成本期研修的全体学员表示热烈祝贺。她表示,“读懂中国,始于理论求索,成于实践体悟。”本次研修通过讲座交流、实地走访,让学员们全方位地感受真实、立体、全面的中国式现代化发展。希望各位学员将学习成果转化为实际成效,推动两国各领域交流合作结出更多丰硕成果。

On behalf of Shanghai International Studies University and the China-Arab States Reform and Development Research Center, Yin Dongmei extended her warm congratulations to all participants who completed the training program. She noted, “Understanding China begins with theoretical exploration and is enriched through practical experience.” Through lectures, discussions, and field visits, the program enabled participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of China’s real, multidimensional, and all-round development under Chinese modernization. She expressed the hope that participants would translate what they had learned into tangible outcomes and contribute to more fruitful exchanges and cooperation between the two countries across various fields.



尹冬梅指出,今年是中叙建交70周年,中国愿同叙利亚等阿拉伯国家推动四大全球倡议落地见效,以相互尊重、平等相待,深化务实合作,携手共创和平、发展、合作、共赢的美好未来。期待双方以中阿大学联盟交流机制,中阿智库联盟,中阿改革发展论坛,中阿青年发展论坛,中阿媒体对话,中阿投资对接会等中心六大对阿合作机制为重要依托,在教育合作、政策对话、青年成才、国际传播、经贸合作等多元领域深化交流合作,探索不同文明共生共荣路径,夯实中叙文明对话根基,丰富中阿文明交流互鉴内涵,为中阿、中叙友好交往行稳致远谱写崭新篇章。
Yin Dongmei noted that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Syria. China is ready to work with Syria and other Arab countries to advance the implementation of the four major global initiatives, deepen practical cooperation on the basis of mutual respect and equality, and work together to create a peaceful, developed, cooperative, and mutually beneficial future. She expressed the hope that both sides would make full use of the Center’s six major cooperation mechanisms with Arab countries—including the China-Arab States University Alliance, China-Arab States Think Tank Alliance, China-Arab States Reform and Development Forum, China-Arab States Youth Development Forum, China-Arab States Media Dialogue, and China-Arab States Investment Matchmaking Conference—as important platforms for deepening exchanges and cooperation in diverse fields such as education, policy dialogue, youth development, international communication, and economic and trade cooperation. Through these efforts, the two sides can explore pathways for the coexistence and shared prosperity of different civilizations, strengthen the foundations of dialogue between Chinese and Syrian civilizations, enrich the substance of exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and Arab civilizations, and write a new chapter in the enduring friendship and cooperation between China and the Arab world and between China and Syria.

In his remarks, Mohammad Zakaria Rababedi expressed his sincere appreciation to Shanghai International Studies University and the China-Arab States Reform and Development Research Center for their careful preparation and thoughtful arrangements.

He said that, as China and Syria celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, he looked forward to continued deepening of practical cooperation between the two countries across various fields. He also encouraged all participants to value what they had gained from the program, put their learning into practice, and further strengthen bilateral exchanges by translating their knowledge and experience into tangible contributions to their countries’ development.
