The Macao Polytechnic Institute (MPI) and the International Lusophone Markets Business Association in Macao will make joint efforts to strengthen ties between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries in the fields of culture and education, MPI says.
The institute says in a written announcement that MPI President Marcus Im Sio Kei and International Lusophone Markets Business Association executive Chairman Eduardo Ambrósio signed an agreement to this effect this week.
The announcement quotes Mr Im as saying MPI seeks to co-operate with other bodies to improve the education it gives and to turn out more people bilingual in Chinese and Portuguese, for the good of Macao and China as a whole.
The agreement calls for joint arrangements for teaching languages, culture, the arts and business, and for students of the institute to visit and learn about parts of the lusophone world, the MPI says.
