Three students from the Chinese Department of IML, DU and three students from Yunnan University majoring in the Bengali Language were invited to give introductory speeches. They discussed and exchanged views on the themes such as university life, first impressions of each other's countries, notable figures and events in the friendly exchanges between China and Bangladesh. Many young people joined in the discussion and shared their opinions. It is particularly worth mentioning that during the exchanges and dialogues, the Chinese youth spoke in Bengali and the Bangladeshi youth spoke in Chinese.

2023年1月4日下午,由云南大学和达卡大学孔子学院共同举办的孟加拉国青少年“汉语桥”线上冬令营系列活动之——“中孟青年谈暨第四期中孟语言文化交流营”顺利闭幕。来自云南大学、达卡大学孔子学院和参加云南大学“汉语桥”线上冬令营的营员约70余人参与了此次线上交流活动。
本次青年谈活动由达卡大学孔子学院本土中文教师于浩文(Aga Mostafizur Rahman Chowdhury)主持。活动中邀请了3名达卡大学中文系的同学和3名云南大学孟加拉语专业的同学进行引导性发言,大家围绕大学生活、对彼此国家的印象、中孟友好交往中的代表性人物和事件等话题展开了交流。特别值得一提的是,中孟两国青年在交流对话时,中方青年用孟语进行发言,孟方青年用中文进行发言,他们在积极使用对方语言的同时,也在交流中了解了许多关于对方大学的校园生活和校园文化。令人印象深刻的是,无论是中国同学的孟语还是孟加拉国同学的中文都非常流利。交流中,双方同学还分享了中孟友谊之桥帕德玛大桥、孟加拉国父谢赫·穆吉布·拉赫曼所著《我眼中之新中国》、中国东晋时期僧人法显、唐代僧人玄奘在求取佛经途中曾到达孟加拉地区等中孟友好交往的动人故事。
此次“中孟青年谈”也是达卡大学孔子学院举办的第四期“中孟语言文化交流营”活动的一部分,希望通过搭建交流平台,丰富两国青年的语言学习和文化体验。希望更多的中孟青年参与到交流中来,学好语言,了解对方文化,共促民心相通。
