Local students from the Confucius Institute of the University of Rwanda are developing a keen interest for learning Chinese language.

 

卢旺达大学孔子学院的学生对学习汉语有着浓厚的兴趣。
 

 

Many of them are taking part in a Chinese-learning summer camp held by the Confucius Institute at the University, where they learn Chinese by reciting poems, reading classics stories and singing songs.

 

This year's summer camp has seen more than 300 participants.

 

Zhang Xian, the Chinese director of the Confucius Institute, says both China and Rwanda share the same goals concerning development.

 

"China, like Rwanda, has also undergone poverty. There are still poverty-stricken areas in China now. We're making efforts to alleviate¹ poverty and build a moderately prosperous society in all respects. We hope Rwanda, as well as all African countries, can also achieve common prosperity, where people can live decent lives and achieve common development," says Zhang.
