On July 20th, 2016, the official opening ceremony of China's hydropower technology overseas class was held in Rwanda. The delegate of the Chinese Business Office to Rwanda, Zhang Yongyong, the director of the Rural Electrification Institute of the Ministry of Water Resources, Xu Jincai and the general manager of the Energy Development Corporation, Kamanzi, attended the ceremony and delivered speeches.
