British rugby teams are planning to visit China in July for competitions with Chinese athletes - part of an effort to boost communication and understanding between the people of the two nations through summer camps.

Male and female rugby teams from Swansea, a coastal county in Wales, are expected to join China-UK Sport Week, the first such event for the two countries, hoping to popularize the sport and help Chinese understand the culture behind it, Shen Yang, minister counselor at the Chinese embassy in London, announced during an educational activity earlier this month.

"It's an interesting activity and will help cultural communication," Shen said. "Similar rugby teams have been developed in China, including at China Agricultural University and Beijing Normal University, and similar sports events are being brewed up and will be held this year."
