Army personnel to learn Chinese at Tezpur University

The Indian Army personnel will soon learn the Chinese language at central Assam’s Tezpur University.

Defence spokesperson, Lt. Col. Mahendra Rawat said a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Army and the university on Wednesday for improving the in-house Mandarin expertise and empowering soldiers to engage with their Chinese counterparts as and when the situation demands.

The soldiers would be in a better position to convey their points more cogently with improved Chinese language skills, he said.
