On August 23, a symposium was held for 14 students from Sao Tome and Principe who received scholarships to study in China. The students were scheduled to depart for China shortly following the symposium, where they would study subjects including Clinical Medicine, Business Administration, Aerospace Engineering, Chinese Language, Applied Mathematics and Economics and International Business. The nine students studying Clinical Medicine would be studying at Hubei University and West China Hospital.
