BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- A senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official on Saturday pledged continuous efforts to support Chinese language education in international society and to provide sound support and guarantee for the Chinese language to go global and serve the world.

He also called for a more open and inclusive framework for international Chinese language education, stressing efforts to work with all relevant parties to ensure the sound operation and management of Confucius Institutes and other Chinese language projects.
