China continues to develop its relations with South East Asia through international youth event held in Wuhan, Hubei province, while giving young people a voice, Gui Qian and Liu Kun report.
With the theme of "Together for a Better Home", the 9th ASEAN-China Young Leaders Exchange Festival took place in Wuhan, Hubei province, from July 4 to 6.
Young people from 10 member countries of the ASEAN met at the event and delivered speeches about their thoughts and visions of the ASEAN-China relationship. Gala dinners at the event featured unique dances and music from ASEAN member countries. Participants also had trips around Hubei, during which they experienced local customs and cultures.
This year marks the 10th anniversary after Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the building of an even closer China-ASEAN community of common destiny, as well as the 20th anniversary of China joining the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia.
Co-hosted by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and The China-ASEAN Association, the exchange festival aims to promote friendship and communication between Chinese and ASEAN youth and deepen mutual understanding and cooperation, according to the hosts.
"President Xi Jinping said that young people are like saplings that thrive in the earth, and one day they will grow into towering trees," said Yuan Mindao, vice president of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries. "At this event, our young friends expressed their feelings and willingness to work together to build our beautiful homelands. I hope this trip is not only a journey of friendship but also a journey of development and harvest."
