For the first time, learners from Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University’s Confucius Institute have received recognition under the Chinese Ambassador Scholarship Programme, with five receiving Ambassador’s Awards and another five receiving Encouragement Awards. Gong Tao, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Hungary, specifically praised the Gy\u0151r-based Institute’s participation in the initiative.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tenth award ceremony of the Chinese Ambassador Scholarship Programme was held at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Budapest on 17 October, where ten learners from Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University’s Confucius Institute were also honoured. Established in 2016, the programme aims to encourage the study of the Chinese language and culture, support young people who demonstrate outstanding achievement, and strengthen educational and cultural ties between the two countries. Candidates for the awards must demonstrate not only strong academic performance but also actively foster Hungarian\u2013Chinese friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University inaugurated Hungary’s seventh Confucius Institute in January this year, establishing it in cooperation with Jiaxing University in China. Through language courses and  cultural programmes<\/a>, the Institute reaches people of different age groups, from children through to adults. As a further result of its close cooperation with the Embassy, the Institute was given the opportunity to nominate ten learners for the Ambassador’s awards. The extension of the initiative to Gy\u0151r was announced by Yang Xiuhua, Education Counsellor at the Embassy, during an earlier visit to the University<\/a>, when he highlighted the quality and popularity of local Chinese language courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the ceremony, held in the Embassy’s garden, Ambassador Gong Tao emphasised that the scholarship programme had already provided numerous young Hungarians with opportunities to deepen their understanding of China and its culture. „We are particularly delighted that Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University’s Confucius Institute has joined the programme for the first time this year, further extending its reach,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ambassador pointed out that, as economic, scientific, technological and cultural cooperation between the two countries continues to develop, there is a growing need for young professionals who speak Chinese well, understand the country’s distinctive characteristics and have an international outlook. He encouraged the award recipients to continue their studies and, where possible, gain first-hand experience in China. „Language is the key to mutual understanding, while culture provides a solid foundation for friendship,”<\/em> he stressed. He added that the Embassy intended to continue supporting Chinese language education in Hungary and exchange programmes for young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judit \u00c9va Nagy, President of the Hungarian\u2013Chinese Friendship Association, also addressed the event, highlighting that over the past decade the scholarship had become one of the most important forms of professional recognition in Chinese language education in Hungary. She noted that the Confucius Institutes operating in Budapest, Szeged, P\u00e9cs, Miskolc, Debrecen and Gy\u0151r now play a key role in the educational network built on Hungary’s traditions of Sinology. „Proficiency in Chinese is now a strategic resource. There is a growing need for Chinese-speaking engineers, economists, lawyers and other professionals,”<\/em> she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n
