A China-Mozambique youth exchange symposium was held at Zhejiang Normal University in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, on Oct 20.

More than 40 members of a "Chinese Bridge" summer camp delegation from the Confucius Institute at Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambican trainees in China, and Zhejiang Normal University's Institute of African Studies (IASZNU) shared experiences in learning Chinese, cultural exchange, and bilateral cooperation.

Li Zhaoying, deputy director of IASZNU's Institute of East African Regional and Country Studies, introduced IASZNU's work, saying it aims to strengthen mutual understanding between China and Africa through teaching, research, and exchanges.

Mateus Henrique Orlando, a teacher at Eduardo Mondlane University, introduced the delegation and its visit, expressing hopes for exchanges with Chinese teachers and students.

Li Yichao, director of the Institute of Central African Regional and Country Studies, shared her experiences in Mozambique and encouraged Mozambican students to use their language skills to serve as bridges between the two countries.

Nhatsave Erdito Herminio Isaias, a Mozambique Television journalist, said Africa has rich natural resources and hopes to strengthen exchanges with China in education, knowledge, and technology to boost development capacity.

The symposium gave Chinese and Mozambican youth a platform to deepen mutual understanding. Participants discussed language education, cultural communication, and technical talent training, building consensus for future exchanges.
