Chinese President, Hu Jintao, has returned home, after spending almost two weeks away on a tour of Africa.
Hu Jintao's last stop was Victoria, capital of the Seychelles. There, he visited a community with homes built by a Chinese company.
With a warm welcome from the people living in the area and Seychelles President James Michel, President Hu Jintao arrived at the community on Friday.
Some 160 low-income families live in the community which was built with preferential loans from the Chinese government.
The Besters moved into their new home six months ago. Wane Bester is a driver and his wife Paula works at the disease prevention center. They are honored having the presidents from China and the Seychelles visiting them.
President Hu, said, "I've come to see if the homes built by Chinese companies are good and if you are happy with them."
Paula Bester, said, "It is very comfortable and we are very happy with it. We all say if you want to buy a home, you should buy the Chinese built ones."
President Hu also spoke to Elan, the Bester's 11-year old son.
The President said China will continue its cooperation with the Seychelles to help build more homes for low income families. President Michel said President Hu Jintao is the best friend for people of the Seychelles.
