日前，埃及蘇伊士運河大學孔子學院和開羅英國大學中文系的60名師生一起探訪了位于中埃·泰達蘇伊士經貿合作區內的巨石埃及，并與中埃兩國的企業員工一同進行了豐富多彩的文化交流活動。

大到航空航天設備，小到家居物件，埃及學生們不僅驚嘆于玻璃纖維廣泛的應用場景，也對生產基地廣闊的占地面積和機械自動化程度印象深刻。在恒溫恒濕的生產車間里，學生們主動向正在進行操作的埃及員工詢問各種設備的功能用途，生產流程參觀讓大家對玻璃纖維從原料到成品的生產過程有了直觀認識。

在巨石埃及公司總經理吳平的帶領和講解下，學生們還對公司業務構成、生產基地未來規劃以及玻璃纖維生產需要高技術和高投入的特點有了更深入了解。在得知巨石埃及完全擁有玻璃纖維生產自主核心技術并在埃及當地培養了大批高素質產業工人后，埃及學生桑德拉·加塔斯向記者感嘆，科技有著強大力量，“中國制造很有魅力”。

吳平介紹說，巨石埃及成立于2012年1月，由中國巨石股份有限公司設立。目前，這個世界級大型玻璃纖維生產基地總占地面積達36萬平方米，年產量超20萬噸。這是中國在海外建設的首條大型玻璃纖維生產線，不僅填補了中東、北非地區玻璃纖維制造業的空白，也對中國玻璃纖維工業的國際化具有重要意義。

“希望通過這樣的活動讓更多埃及青年才俊了解中國先進的制造技術，這也是我們中國企業在海外的一份責任。”吳平說，歡迎優秀的埃及中文系學生加入在埃中資企業，為進一步提升中埃合作發展水平、增進中埃友誼盡一份力。

回程前，師生們和企業員工在基地門口合影留念，瓦埃勒也向記者表達了自己的心愿，她說：“我會努力學好中文，期待有一天加入中國企業，收獲新的成長。”

Hi-tech Chinese fiberglass factory captures hearts of Egyptian students

by Wu Danni, Mahmoud Fouly

SUEZ, Egypt, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- "I never thought fiberglass products were so close to our daily life! The production process here is so wonderful!" said Veronica Wael, an Egyptian student of Chinese language at Confucius Institute of the Suez Canal University in Egypt, when visiting China's fiberglass giant manufacturer Jushi.

At least 60 teachers and students from Confucius Institute at the Suez Canal University and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at the British University in Egypt recently visited Jushi Egypt, located in China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone.

The visitors were impressed not only by the wide range of applications where fiberglass products could be used, varying from aerospace to household items, but also by the scale and mechanical automation of the manufacturing site and the advanced technology.

In the workshop with constant temperature and humidity, some curious students asked the Egyptian workers about the functions and uses of various machines. Meanwhile, at the assembly line, some others recorded the visiting moments with their mobile phones.

Nearly half an hour's visit enabled everyone to get basic hold of fiberglass production steps from raw materials to finished products. They also learned that Jushi Egypt fully possesses the independent core technology of fiberglass production and has trained a large number of professional workers in Egypt.

"Chinese manufacture is really amazing and it shows how powerful science and technology are," Sandra Ghattas, an Egyptian student, told Xinhua during the tour inside the plant.

Accompanied by Wu Ping, general manager of Jushi Egypt, the students had a deeper understanding of the company's business structure, future plans for the plant and the characteristics of fiberglass production that requires high technology and large investment.

With the help of Jushi, Egypt has become one of the largest fiberglass producers and exporters in the world.

Established in January 2012, the large-scale fiberglass production base of Jushi Egypt covers a total area of 360,000 square meters, with an annual output of more than 200,000 tonnes, according to Wu.

"This is the first large-scale fiberglass production line built overseas by China, which has not only filled the gap of fiberglass manufacturing in the Middle East and North Africa region, but also pushed forward the internationalization strategy of China's fiberglass industry," Wu said.

After the tour, the students also experienced traditional Chinese calligraphy and paper cutting at the activity hall of the plant. Some of the artistical pieces read "New Year" and "Spring" in Chinese characters.

Afterward, on the stage of the same hall, some talented Egyptian students interested in and familiar with Chinese culture performed Chinese martial arts, dances and popular songs, marking a joyful conclusion of the memorable visit.

"I hope that through such activities, more young talents in Egypt can learn about China's advanced manufacturing technologies, and this is also a responsibility of our Chinese enterprises overseas," Wu told Xinhua, noting Egyptian students conversant with Chinese language are welcome to join Chinese-funded enterprises in Egypt.

"I will try my best to learn Chinese and I am looking forward to joining a Chinese enterprise one day for new experiences," said Wael.
