RIYADH, Tuesday, July 8, 2025 (WNP): The Center for Research and Intercommunication Knowledge (CRIK) has signed a cooperation agreement with the China-Arab Research Institute at Ningxia University in a bid to deepen academic and cultural ties.

The partnership seeks to promote academic exchange through joint research initiatives, faculty and researcher visits, scientific conferences, and collaborative translation projects aimed at advancing mutual understanding of Saudi-Chinese relations.

The agreement also lays the foundation for strategic collaboration in key areas of shared interest, including regional security, bilateral diplomacy, cultural engagement, and the protection of intellectual property in scholarly work.

This move is part of CRIK’s broader strategy to strengthen international partnerships with leading academic institutions and think tanks, particularly in Asia. The initiative underscores Saudi Arabia’s growing emphasis on fostering cross-cultural dialogue and engaging in high-impact global research.
