The signed agreement stipulates that UNIDO through its office in Bahrain will develop the capacities of Chinese experts to be able to manage and implement the Bahrain-Arab Model in China and provide its services to potential Chinese entrepreneurs through the first established center in Beijing. Hence; it is to be followed by 31 other centers enabling the provision of these services to all regions of China. It is worth noting that the Chinese government will fund this Model through ARCEIT and is expected to be operational July of this year.
