At the invitation of Yuvsatta, Punjab, the CPAFFC sent a delegation of 15 members to visit India during 24th September and 4th October this year to attend the 8th International Youth Peace Festival in Chandigarh. The delegates, mainly from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technolog exchanged ideas and conducted joint activities with around 250 youth from 24 countries, including India, USA, Bhutan, Brazil, etc. This is a third delegation of this kind organized by the CPAFFC.
During the Peace Fest, the host organized “China Day Evening” on the night of 1st October to celebrate the Chinese National Day, in which, youth from all participating countries gave wonderful cultural performances. The Peking Opera and a Medley of Chinese and Foreign songs brought the evening to its climax and won a great round of applause. The Friends of China Association, Chandigarh also hosted a wonderful get-together in honor of the Chinese Youth Delegation, as well as for the celebration of the Chinese National Day.
For most members of the delegation, this is the first visit to India. Thanks to the thoughtful arrangements of homestay by the Friends of China Association, one of the most important counterparts of the CPAFFC in India, the delegates experienced the real everyday life of the local Indians, and developed very sincere and deep friendship with our host families.
