Through the field visit and personal experience, we have gained a deeper understanding and learning of higher education, vocational education, social economy, folk culture and other fields of the two countries, and also promoted us to think and study in depth how to provide more comprehensive, systematic and effective cooperation from various aspects such as service, management and docking.

China and Tunisia and Morocco have always been practical, open and transparent in their cooperation. Under the framework of Belt and Road cooperation, peace, friendship and cooperation between China and Africa is the trend of people's hearts and minds. The roots of friendship between China and the two countries are among the people, and the future of friendship is expected in education and the young generation.
