Yemen's Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Amin Noman discussed Wednesday with the Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China to Yemen, Shao Weng steps toward renewing the bilateral Cultural Exchange Agreement signed in 2013 and updating its provisions in line with the ministry's new strategic vision.

The meeting also explored prospects for activating twinning arrangements and direct partnerships between Yemeni public universities and leading Chinese universities, as well as launching joint research programs in renewable energy, natural resource exploration, water scarcity mitigation, desertification, and the sustainable management of coastal environments through the application of Chinese biotechnology.
