MANYINGA, Zambia, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- Zambian youths have gained knowledge in art and cultural management trainings during the China-Zambia Year of Culture in 2019, a Zambian artist has said, calling for more cultural exchange programs.
Richard Mwanza, who is Benecho Arts and Culture administrative manager said over 80 young people have been trained in China in art and cultural management.
"We used to have exchange programs, where our cultural groups could travel to China under the Ministry of Tourism and Art, the program has been beneficial to the Zambian youths who are occupied in arts," he said.

He is optimistic that the enhanced cooperation between the two countries will continue to promote the arts in both countries. Enditem
