Chinese president visits Yale
[ 2006-04-21 23:05 ]
NEW HAVEN, the United States -- Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived in
New Haven, Connecticut, on Friday morning from Washington for a brief
visit to Yale University.
At Yale, President Hu will present more than 1,300 books to the
institution and give a public address.
Yale University was founded in 1701 as the Collegiate School in the home
of Abraham Pierson, its first rector, in Killingworth, Connecticut.
In 1716, the school moved to New Haven and with the generous gift from
Elihu Yale of nine bales of goods, 417 books and a portrait of King
George I, was renamed Yale College in 1718. In 1887, it became Yale
University.
The university is the last stop in President Hu's trip to the United
States. Previous destinations were Seattle and Washington. On Thursday,
Hu and President George W. Bush held talks at the White House on
China-U.S. relations and major world and regional issues.
Hu will conclude his visit to the United States on Friday afternoon and
embark on the next leg of his five-nation tour, taking him to Saudi
Arabia, Morocco, Nigeria and Kenya.
