On May 17th, Vice President Xie Yuan met with student delegation from Harvard Kennedy School. Xie introduced the leading and bridging role the CPAFFC has played in the China-US sub-national exchanges and cooperation. He pointed out that mutual visits between youth is an essential part of the sub-national exchanges and an effective channel to enhance mutual understanding and friendship. He encouraged the students to make further contributions to youth exchanges and sub-national cooperation between the two countries. Student representative Wilson Tong expressed sincere appreciation to the CPAFFC for receiving the delegation. He said that this was the first visit to China for most delegation members. The informative trip helped them understand more about China’s education, public policy, foreign affairs and culture, which changed some rigid perception they held towards China.
