On 14 October 2010, Ms. Gonzalez, Representative of the International Department, Open University of Catalonia (OUC), Spain, visited the Open University of China (OUC). Li Yawan, Director of the OUC International Cooperation and Exchange Division, gave her a warm reception. Yan Xiaoping, vice director of the OUC Academic Affairs Office, and Mao Dan, from the OUC Chinese Language Center, also attended the reception.

The two parties introduced the history,

concepts for running the school and teaching styles of their own universities. Ms. Gonzalez showed great interest in the Chinese teaching resources developed by the OUC and the newly launched MyEChinese Distance Chinese Teaching Platform. She hoped that the two universities can carry out further cooperation in distance Chinese courses, to provide courses and services to Chinese learners in Spanish-speaking regions and Catalonia.

The Open University of Catalonia in Spain is a university dedicated to modern distance education. It was established in 1994. It provides study support for more than 57,000 distance students in 47 countries and regions around the world.
