During the meeting, the participants discussed the prospects of cooperation of the Confucius Institute of the Karazin Kharkiv National University and the Confucius School, created in early May 2017 on the basis of the Zaporizhzhya National University.

So, the director of the Confucius Institute of the V. Karazin Kharkiv National University Anatolii Bainazarov told the guests about the experience of his structure, and also outlined possible perspectives of cooperation. In particular, it was about the possibility of passing an international qualification exam of the Chinese language (HSK and HSKK) for students of the Confucius School of the Zaporizhzhya National University and the joint carrying out of cultural events. In addition, the director of the Confucius Institute from the Chinese side Din Shyven informed his colleagues about the possibility of participating in the scholarship programs of the Headquarters of the Confucius Institutes and the organization of the summer camp and scientific internships in China for students and teachers of the Confucius School of the Zaporizhzhya National University.
