Hao extended warm welcome to Al-Dehaimi for his visit to Peking University. Hao said Peking University has been taking seriously exchanges with Arab countries in culture, education and research. In recent years, PKU and Qatari higher education institutions have strengthened collaboration in people-to-people exchanges and public health, and have come to fruition. He expressed hopes to further expand cooperation between China and Qatar to yield more fruitful results in education and culture. Meanwhile, Hao also showed gratitude towards the support from the Embassy of Qatar in China and Ambassador Al-Dehaimi, and stressed that Peking University will support and take an active part as always in educational and cultural activities hosted by the Embassy of Qatar in China.
