HONGHE, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- Since establishing diplomatic relations over half a century ago, China and Equatorial Guinea have helped each other through thick and thin and maintained practical cooperation and exchanges in various fields, yielding noticeable results.

In April 2015, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, president of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, announced that his country would donate a school in Jinping County. The construction of the China-Equatorial Guinea Friendship Primary School was completed the following year, and it has since stood as a testament to the enduring bilateral friendship.

On May 27, 2024, President Obiang joined a video call with the school's students during his visit to China. The children recited a poem from the Tang dynasty and performed folk songs.

At present, over 2,000 students from 16 ethnic groups pursue their studies at the primary school, where symbols of China-Equatorial Guinea friendship are prominent. Decorations highlight Equatorial Guinea's geography, customs and goods, while the exhibition room showcases student artwork celebrating the bond between the two countries.
