A delegation of 29 students and three faculty members from Cadet College Petaro in Sindh, Pakistan, recently concluded a 14-day cultural immersion program at Sichuan Normal University in Chengdu, China. The Confucius Classroom Summer Camp, held from June 16 to 29, centered on the theme “Language Connectivity, Cultural Exchange, and Youth Mutual Trust.”

Participants engaged in intensive language training and cultural workshops, including traditional Chinese calligraphy, martial arts, classical poetry, and mask-making. Field visits to prominent Chengdu landmarks—such as the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Jinli Ancient Street, and the Sichuan Science and Technology Museum—enabled firsthand observation of China’s historical heritage and technological advancements.

The initiative, structured as a flagship cultural exchange under the Confucius Institute framework, reinforced the Belt and Road Initiative’s commitment to cross-cultural connectivity. Cadet College Petaro emphasized that the program significantly enhanced participants’ linguistic competencies, intercultural awareness, and mutual trust between Pakistani and Chinese youth.
