BEIJING, May 6 -- At the invitation of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense (MND), nearly 100 young and middle-aged military officers from over 40 African countries including Egypt, Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya started a 10-day visit to China. The visit will last from May 6 to 15, during which these officers will visit Chinese cities like Beijing, Changsha and Shaoshan.
