A vocational education delegation led by Ngcobo Jeffrey Themba, deputy general secretary of South African Vocational College, visited Phoenix Publishing and Media Group on Nov 5.

The two sides convened a meeting to discuss vocational education publishing and training cooperation.

The South African delegation visited the Development Results Exhibition Hall and Rare Books Library at PPMG to learn about the group's publication of training textbooks and traditional Chinese culture.

In recent years, China and South Africa have seen close exchanges and cooperation in politics, economy and culture, benefiting people on both sides. Vocational education, an important driver of economic and social development, serves to strengthen the bond between the two places.

Not long ago, PPMG sent a delegation to South Africa. The delegation witnessed the launch of the English versions of books on manufacturing technologies such as optical and electrical cables and visited the University of the Western Cape and the South Africa Chinese Culture and International Exchange Center.
