An opening ceremony for Inner Mongolia University’s first traditional Mongolian language training course was held in Hohhot, the capital of northern China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, on Nov 18.

According to IMU officials, the 10-day training course is sponsored by the department of finance and the department of education in the autonomous region and undertaken by IMU’s School of Mongolian Studies.

Almost all of the trainees come from Mongolia.
