"The Chinese government gives us these scholarships for Ethiopian students every year. "This scholarship (opportunity) is also one of the fruits of the nice friendship," he added. In recent years, many Ethiopian students are interested in learning Chinese and applying for a Chinese scholarship, which plays a great role in bolstering their Chinese language proficiency and serving as connecting bridges between peoples of the two countries. "Apart from the education opportunity, this is a golden opportunity for students to serve as connecting bridges between the two friendly countries," she said. Noting that Ethiopians account for the largest Chinese scholarship recipients, Terfassa called on Ethiopian students to learn from China's socioeconomic development and apply it in the Ethiopian context.
