The ‘Yamaguchi Bank Cup’ Japanese Speech Competition has been held since 1992. It has become a traditional language competition in Qingdao with a long duration, high citizen participation and great social influence.

Its holding has made a positive contribution to the promotion of non-governmental exchanges between China and Japan, strengthened the friendship between the people of China and Japan, and stimulated the enthusiasm of the citizens to learn Japanese. What’s more, it cultivated and selected many Japanese talents to further promote Qingdao’s foreign exchange and publicity work.

The International Exchange Center of Qingdao Tourism Group, as the main organizer of the event, has been engaged in foreign exchange work for many years. It provides many services such as visa abroad, consular certification, translation, study abroad, foreign affairs reception, conference and exhibition for our customers.
