ADDIS ABABA, July 21 (Xinhua) -- China has been supporting training programs for potential train drivers from Ethiopia and Djibouti, the two East African countries linked with a Chinese-built 756 km railway.

Most recently, about 50 Ethiopian and Djiboutian prospective train drivers started attending a China-sponsored training program in the Ethiopian capital.

The program, expected to last until August 7, aims to create a competent and skilled labor force to operate the Chinese-built and financed Ethiopia-Djibouti electrified rail line.

The training program will continue in a much more organized form through a planned railway academy, said Liu Yu, Economic and Commercial Counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Ethiopia.

"This railway academy will help Ethiopia and Djibouti to cultivate own talents and realize self-operation at early stage. This railway belongs to Ethiopian and Djibouti people and one day you will operate the railway completely," said Liu.

The training of Djiboutian and Ethiopian train drivers is part of an organized China-Aid framework which has seen over 5,500 Ethiopians participate in various training programs over the last several years.

Tilahun Sarka, Director General of Ethiopia-Djibouti Railway Share Company (EDRSC), said Ethiopia chose China as its main partner in railway sector because of the country's advanced railway systems.

"The good thing about Chinese instructors and lecturers, as long as you keep on asking questions you will get what you need, so be confident, don't be afraid, don't be shy, ask questions," he said.
