Possible benefits for nations Sample Clauses

Possible benefits for nations. The biggest benefit of this kind of cooperation for the two countries is that this educational cooperation is channel of exchange and basis of mutual understanding. Firstly, both nations economically and politically need each other. China has a very large market for salmon and other sea food, natural resources like oil and gas, and Norway is known for salmon feeding and rich for oil and gas, so, the two cannot ignore the existence of each other because they have broad basis for business and cooperation. On the other hand, China has huge influence on Arctic area and strong interests in Arctic Affairs and Norway, as one of the main participants promoting Arctic dialogue, have duty and right to pull China into the Arctic affairs and want to have direct dialogue with this big stakeholder of Arctic region--China. However, due to some reasons, China stop all the official contact with Norway from 2010 and the top channel for exchange had been blocked. The cooperation in education between UiN and CUST is now a part of cooperation among folks from Norway and China. The good function of this program is to keep the channel between two nations open and if possible ,to drive cooperation in other fields. The second benefit on the national level is to increase mutual understanding. Because of the distance and difference of culture, the people of two countries lack basic knowledge of each other and thus it is very easy to cause conflicts and disputes. The closed cooperation between universities help people from two countries better know each other, including societal affairs, living habits , history and culture and so on. What is more, educational cooperation is an alternative way of communication between the two nations when the national level exchange stopped.
