Zhang Donggang, Party secretary of the Renmin University of China, and Marcellina Chijoriga, principal of the Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Leadership School, jointly signed an intercollegiate cooperation agreement between the university and the school in Kibaha, Tanzania, on Oct 9. The two sides also jointly held a themed seminar, at which Zhang delivered a speech about the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.

Chijoriga said that the exploration of the modernization path is one of the focuses of civilization exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and Africa, and the experience of Chinese modernization has attracted more and more attention from African countries.

"China has been committed to helping African countries actively explore the road of development and revitalization and sharing relevant experience and practices with young and middle-aged African cadres, which has provided useful reference for solving regional development issues in Africa," she said.

Chijoriga also said that the signing of the agreement will drive the school to a new level so that more students can understand China's development experience and think about how to promote their own country to achieve better development.

Zhang said that the Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Leadership School is an important achievement of the exchanges between China and Africa on governance, and the university has maintained close exchanges with the Leadership School for a long time.

"The signing of the agreement today marking the cooperation between the two institutions ushered in a new starting point, entered a new stage and reached a new height," he said.

Zhang also noted that the university is willing to work with the Leadership School to carry out various forms of cooperation between teachers and students in scientific research, open up cooperation channels, and build synergy in academic research.

"The two institutions should continue to improve the institutional platform of openness, inclusiveness, mutual learning, joint contribution and shared benefits, strengthen dialogue and exchanges, and increase the vitality of mutual learning among civilizations," Zhang said.
