During their visit through May 15, the delegation will take part in exchange activities and visit several cities, including Beijing, Changsha, and Shaoshan in central Hunan Province.
"Hosted by the Chinese PLA National University of Defense Technology, this activity aims to implement the outcomes of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), deepen the traditional friendship between the militaries of China and African countries, enhance mutual understanding among young and middle-aged military officers from China and Africa, and contribute to building an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future for the new era,"- the ministry said.
