With the expansion of China’s relations with other countries and the improvement of China’s international status, the Association steadily broadened its areas of work, and hence it was renamed the Chinese People’s Friendship Association for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries (CPFACRFC) in April 1966.In October 1969, it was renamed the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC).In May 1972, the Chinese People’s Committee for World Peace and the Chinese Committee for Afro-Asian People’s Solidarity merged with the CPAFFC. Since then, its headquarters has been at No.1 Taijichang Street, Beijing. The Chinese abbreviation for the CPAFFC was changed into “Quan Guo You Xie” in May 2007.
