Now in the Chinese capital Beijing, there's a growing Rwandan community. Many of them went to college in China and decided to stay on to find their dream job. Our reporter Jenny Cortes Ybañez spoke with a recent graduate from Rwanda to find out what his experience has been like in Beijing and how he views China- Rwanda relations.

I met with Armene Rumenerangabo Gasagara who's from Kigali, a city in Rwanda. He came to China 6 years ago to study and recently graduated from his Architecture masters degree program here in the city. Armene says what he found most difficult at the start was that he had to learn the language, but after a while he found a great and effective way of learning it.

"ARMENE" RUMENERANGABO GASAGARA A. RWANDAN GRADUATE "We in Rwanda we use tonnage. The only difference is only tonnage, which is the same thing here in China. You say 'nihao' or 'mén', as they say the 'door'. I had to rephrase again what I'm reading or what I'm hearing. And I read it again, in Rwandese tongue, but the Chinese teachers can tell that I'm using the Rwanda tongue. But that was funny, that was quite welcoming actually. I felt more the ease to learn even more."

An active member of the 'Rwanda Community Abroad', an association in Beijing, Armene works to engage with Rwandans and help them integrate into Chinese society. He explained how similar the two countries are culturally.

"ARMENE" RUMENERANGABO GASAGARA A. RWANDAN GRADUATE "I went deep into the Chinese culture. I've come to understand how common it is actually to other culture, which I would say is African or Rwandan culture. The social way of living, the respect, the discipline [of] people between each other. The commitment you know, how people are just committed to work hard here and how people love their country, which is more likely to look more like our Rwandan spirit. All Rwandans, we all love our country so it's a similar thing with the Chinese counterpart."

JENNY CORTES YBAÑEZ BEIJING "At the invitation of Rwandan president Paul Kagame, President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to Rwanda from Sunday to Monday, making him the first Chinese head of state to visit the African country. So what does this mean to people like Armene and the people of Rwanda as a whole?"

"ARMENE" RUMENERANGABO GASAGARA A. RWANDAN GRADUATE "It means a lot. It's a symbol, it's a sign of our strong tie or the good relationship between our countries, which goes both ways as well. The good governance that we see here in China, similar to the very good governance that we see in Rwanda, which is led by his excellence Paul Kagame. We are happy to have him in Rwanda and we're looking forward to what's going to come after that, because it's going to be so amazing."

In regards to the future, Armene doesn't know exactly where his career will take him but one thing is certain. He definitely wants to see even more "win-win cooperation" in the years to come and more investment from both countries. Not only China bringing things into Rwanda, but more Rwandan people and imports coming into China. JCY, CGTN, Beijing.
