TEZPUR: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Indian Army and Tezpur University (TU) on April 19, 2023, for training Indian Army personnel in Chinese, stated a press release.
The course will have a duration of 16 weeks and will be conducted at Tezpur University. The MoU was signed by HQ 4 Corps on behalf of the Indian Army and the Registrar, Tezpur University, in the presence of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. SN Singh. Tezpur University, established in 1994 by an Act of Parliament as a central university, is one of the pioneers in the Northeast in the teaching of foreign languages, including Chinese, with highly qualified faculty.
This Chinese language course will improve the in-house Mandarin expertise and empower the army personnel to engage with the Chinese military personnel as and when the situation demands. With improved Chinese language skills, the army personnel will be better equipped to convey their points in a much more cogent manner. It will also help in the better exchange of views and understanding of the Chinese PLA’s version of their activities during various interactions such as commander-level talks, flag meetings, joint exercises, and border personnel meetings, etc. (IANS)
