Seminar showcases importance of Sino-French relations

Jean-Francois Huchet, president of the French institute, reviewed the development of academic exchanges between China and France over the past few decades.

He said that his institute has been expanding the scale of Chinese language and culture education, with more and more China-related subjects in fields such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology and economics being taught, and increasing, more diverse topics being studied.

Huchet added that a younger generation of scholars has shown a strong, persistent interest in China and been willing to conduct research and gain firsthand knowledge.
