Exchange of donations between CASS and EARL

On the occasion of the mutual donation of books, the representatives from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and the East Asia Resource Library at the University of Ljubljana held a virtual meeting on December 20. The participants in the event (see the programme of the meeting here) have exchanged words of gratitude for the effort taken to make sure the donations reached their respective destinations. Special thanks were extended to the Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia to the People's Republic of China, Ms. Alenka Suhadolnik, for her crucial role in setting up and fostering the co-operation between the CASS and the EARL. The participants have agreed that both donations add substantial value in promoting the understanding of views and positions on contemporary processes in the respective regions and beyond. The Chief Co-ordinator of the EARL has made a special mention of the fact that Chinese characters are now possible to catalogue in Slovene cataloguing system. She has emphasised that this huge success was a direct result of the EARL’s presence in Slovenia. The participants expressed a joint hope that the next meeting would be a face-to-face event.
