Seven Chinese instructors have begun a two-week programme of training for Angolan farming technicians in the central Angolan province of Huambo, Xinhua reports.
The Chinese government-run news agency says the purpose is to improve the abilities of Angolan technicians and increase Sino-Angolan co-operation in agricultural matters.
The report says the Chinese instructors are teaching over 20 Angolan technicians about growing crops and raising livestock, with a view to making the technicians more effective in their work.
The training is needed because of a chronic lack of farming skills in Huambo, which has a mainly agricultural economy, Xinhua quotes a provincial official, Abrantes Carlos, as saying.
