China, Italy jointly cultivate talents in archaeology

China and Italy are jointly cultivating talents in archaeology, according to cultural relics authorities.

On July 16, a training course was held in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China. Experts from China and Italy helped train these talents.

The training aims to turn out talents with international perspectives, the ability to conduct archaeological work in cities, as well as knowledge about heritage protection, according to the organizer.

It is part of a cooperation deal that was inked last year. According to the agreement, the two sides will conduct regular visits and surveys, and organize seminars to promote talents cultivation, while also boosting exchanges.
