At the opening ceremony, Vice President Liu pointed out that China and Pakistan are good friends and iron brothers. There is a Chinese saying that you can see the truth in adversity. In February 2020, at the beginning of the Chinese people’s united fight against the epidemic, Pakistan, as China’s “iron Brother”, overcame its own difficulties and actively sent all the reserved PPE’s to us from the government to the private sector, and donated urgently needed epidemic prevention materials to China. This made us very much Moved, this reflects the deep brotherly friendship between China and Pakistan. At the same time, as one of China’s national quintessence, traditional Chinese medicine is rooted in China’s traditional culture for thousands of years and is profound. The content of this training course for suitable Chinese medicine techniques is rich and diverse. I hope that everyone can have a basic understanding of Chinese Traditional medicine through this rare opportunity. At the same time, Pakistani students are also welcome to study in Qingdao Binhai University to study our Chinese Traditional medicine.

This training class provides a great opportunity for Pakistani teachers and students, especially young students, to learn about Chinese and Pakistani culture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I look forward to the complete success of the Qingdao Binhai University’s TCM training course for Pakistan. I hope that the two Institutes will continue to jointly organize such activities in the future, promote the deepening of exchanges between the two schools, and wish the long-lasting friendship between China and Pakistan.
