Mr. Li Xikui, Secretary General of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) met with Sino-Fran?aise d'Entreaide et d'Amitié (SFEA) delegation on September 14th, 2018.
Secretary General Li Xikui said, CPAFFC established relationship of friendly cooperation with nearly 500 nongovernment organizations and institutions in 157 countries over the past 60 years since it was founded. It also played a leading role in the three aspects of the people-to-people diplomacy, public diplomacy and city-to-city diplomacy. SFEA not only made active efforts on promoting Sino-French friendship, but also made contributions to the charity. Secretary General Li hoped that CPAFFC and SFEA should keep contacts frequently and commonly promote the exchanges and cooperation of the two countries as well as the friendship of the two peoples.
Mr. Wu Shimin, President of SFEA said, since its establishment 20 years ago, SFEA has been adhering to the purpose of "unity, friendship and mutual assistance". It is keen on charity and public welfare, supports the construction and development of France, safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese, and promotes economic and cultural exchanges between China and France. Therefore, SFEA has now developed to be one of the important associations for overseas Chinese in France. The SFEA not only set up poverty-alleviation education foundation to donate and build 6 schools in China, but also took the lead in establishing youth committee among overseas Chinese in France. He hoped that in the future, SFEA could jointly develop more fields to cooperate with CPAFFC.
