New Delhi:
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao arrived at the Tagore International
School here Wednesday afternoon to interact with students and talk
on Mandarin, Chinese culture and calligraphy.
The premier, who arrived on a three day visit to India earlier in
the day, received a warm welcome by the students and teachers
here.
"The school has been running an exchange programme with Jinyuan
Senior High School in Shanghai the past four years. It's going to
be a 30-minute talk on tai-chi, calligraphy, Mandarin
pronunciation, yoga and Chinese culture," school principal
Madhulika Sen told IANS.
"The visit will go beyond the realm of learning by strengthening
the traditional ties between the people," Sen added.
The south Delhi school has been running exchange programmes,
calligraphy and yoga classes through video-conference under a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with Jinyuan school,
ranked amongst the best language schools in Shanghai, Sen said.
The school, named after poet-philosopher Rabindranath Tagore, was
chosen for Wen's visit due to the enduring Chinese fascination
with the Nobel laureate.
