As many of the students on the program are set to complete their studies and return to their home countries, Peng said the experience would help them deepen their understanding of China.

She expressed her hope that the students could help bring their countries and China closer to each other.

Peng also watched a video showcasing the life of the program's students in China and a performance featuring the recital of a Chinese poem and a chorus of the Chinese folk song Molihua by the students.

Moejane Moleihi Augustina, a student from Lesotho, said at the meeting that she traveled to Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region during her stay in China and that Zhejiang impressed her most with its clean water and beautiful vegetation.
