“Renewing this MoU reflects our deep belief in the importance of joint work and knowledge exchange in supporting and empowering People of Determination. Our relationship with the China Disabled Persons’ Federation is strategic and has already produced successful projects, such as the Emirati-Chinese Sign Language Dictionary – the first bilingual sign language dictionary between the UAE and China. This initiative aims to enable the deaf communities in both countries to communicate, interact, and foster cultural and linguistic understanding.”
Zhou Changkui stated that, “We value the strong relations with Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination and look forward to further developing them to achieve our shared goals of delivering more inclusive and innovative services. The bilingual dictionary project has been one of the most prominent outcomes of this cooperation, and we look forward to many more achievements in the future.”
The delegation also took part in several cultural activities, including a tour of the Imperial Palace Museum and a sensory experience within a specially designed exhibition for People of Determination.
Zayed Higher Organisation remains committed to advancing the vision of the UAE and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in empowering People of Determination through international collaborations.
