The Minister of the Cultural Ministry of Congo also wrote in the visitors' book, A show like this is really excellent to introduce to us the great achievements made in the various aspects of the daily life of the (Chinese) people. It is permeated with a warm and happy atmosphere. Hopefully the Congolese can have an even better understanding of our Chinese partner and their country so as to consolidate the cooperation between our two countries.
