The three Shenzhou-14 Chinese astronauts, or taikonauts, currently in China's space station for a six-month mission, had a dialogue with students from eight African countries via video link on Tuesday. The event was co-hosted by the Mission of China to the African Union, the China Manned Space Agency (CMS) and the African Union Commission (AUC).

Mohammed Belhocine, the AUC Commissioner for education, science, technology and innovation, said the event is "another milestone in the gesture of China-Africa cooperation in motivating and engaging young Africans on space matters."
