Representatives attending the meeting expressed their gratitude to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, Hanban and others for their support in selecting teachers every year, but they understood that in order to establish a long-term mechanism for teacher training, it is necessary to transform from passive "blood transfusion" to self-"blood production".

"
In Wu Songbin's view, Chinese teaching materials are adapted to local conditions and require textbook writing experts to strengthen their understanding of the national conditions and cultural customs of the country where the teaching materials are used. "It would be a good choice if experts from the two countries can cooperate to discuss compilation."

Italian-Chinese School, said that with the implementation of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, all countries have seen opportunities in China. Out of consideration for employment opportunities, many parents will also focus on cultivating their children's interest in Chinese.
