On the night of November 8, 2018, an award ceremony took place in the building of the Chinese Embassy in Equatorial Guinea to give the "2018 Chinese Ambassador Awards" (2018中国大使奖) to 30 qualified students. This award was created to encourage children and students from Equatorial Guinea to learn the Chinese culture and the Chinese language thus grow their love for China and strengthen the China-Equatorial Guinea relationship. There are different prize levels, including the grand prize, the first prize, the second prize, and the third prize. The prizes were valued at 100,000 and 200,000 CFA francs plus trophies.

Learning Chinese and its culture has been more and more popular in Equatorial Guinea since the establishment of the Confucius Institute and CANIGE. The Chinese Embassy also helped to connect universities in China and Equatorial Guinea to provide study abroad programs.
