Thousands of kilometers away from home, Chinese volunteers are in Uganda’s top university Makerere, teaching the mandarin language in renewed efforts to boost the cultural and trade relations between the two countries.

According to the Ugandan government, learning the Chinese language and way of doing business is critical in boosting the trade relations between the two countries. The language barrier between the two countries would be broken and doing business made simple.

Because of this, the Ugandan government has introduced the Chinese language as the latest foreign language in the country’s syllabus.
