拉脱维亚大学孔子学院中方院长尚劝余教授出席了会议，就拉脱维亚大学孔子学院特色与创新发展及预科和企业实习问题做了发言。关于拉脱维亚大学孔子学院特色与创新发展，他指出：一、配合一带一路倡议，举办高端文化交流活动；二、与大学中文专业密切合作，打造汉语人才基地；三、落实汉办“孔子新汉学计划”，提升汉学研究和汉语教学水平；四、适应时代需要，编撰出版电子词典。关于预科和企业实习问题，他指出：一、预科：孔子学院发展成为留学预科机构，即来华留学前进行语言培训的机构，是非常必要的，也是孔院目前所从事的，是孔院可以胜任的；二、企业实习：经过不完全调研发现，拉脱维亚大学孔子学院与当地企业/中资企业/中国国内企业合作为孔院学员提供实习机会的可行性不是很大，前景不是很乐观。
本次联席会议为中东欧国家孔子学院提供了互相交流，互相学习的机会，为各孔子学院特色与创新发展提供了相互借鉴之道。
