UNESCO has approved a teacher education center to be set up in Shanghai.

The United Nations agency did so on Saturday during its 39th general conference session in Paris.

“Shanghai is dedicated in building itself into a global city of excellence,” said Zhang Minxuan, director of the preparatory group for the teacher center in Shanghai. The center will be capable of hosting resident UN offices, participating in global governance, promoting the agency’s international influence and improving its cultural soft power.
