Two lectures on Sino-Botswanian relationship were delivered in Nov. 25 by Gou Haodong, Counselor of Chinese Embassy in Botswan and Dr. Briteny in the University of Botswana. Rich in data and facts, Gou’s lecture expounded the Sino-Africa and Sino-Botswanian relations and aroused strong interests of the audience.
