Reference Message Network reported on April 25 according to TASS's report on April 24. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova reminded in Chinese that April 20 is the United Nations Chinese Language Day. She emphasized that young people who master Russian and Chinese will have good development prospects in the future.
She suddenly issued an appeal in Chinese at the press conference: "(It is necessary) to learn more Chinese, to learn more Russian."
She emphasized that the two countries play a "leading role" in "maintaining world stability and security", as well as defending traditional values and historical memories. With the positive and steady development of bilateral relations in fields ranging from political economy to humanities and technology, the demand for bilingual professionals proficient in Russian and Chinese is also increasing.
Zakharova said: "Young people in our two countries who choose to learn Russian and Chinese can fully believe that they will have good development prospects and broad space for self-actualization in the future."
She said: "Of course, we hold the same position as our Chinese friends, that is, it is very important to protect and cherish national languages. I believe that commemorative days such as the United Nations Chinese Language Day on April 20 and the upcoming Russian Language Day on June 6 will remind us of the importance of multilingualism and cultural diversity, and help support and develop languages as an inseparable part of national common wealth, international communication tools, and world civilization heritage."
