The department seeks to meet the needs of the labor market in the fields of translation, economics, investment, tourism, media, and other fields that require Chinese speakers in Egypt and the Arab world. The Department of Chinese Language and Literature offers a complete picture of China, its civilization, culture, language, and literature through a group of distinguished staff members from Egypt and China. It also participates in various competitions that the Chinese side organizes for Chinese scholars in the Arab Republic of Egypt, such as the Chinese language bridge competition and poetry, singing, and story competitions. The cooperation between the Department of Chinese Language, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Suez Canal University and the Chinese side represented by the Chinese embassy resulted in the establishment of the Confucius Institute in order to enrich and spread the Chinese culture all over the Arab Republic of Egypt.
