On August 22nd 2013, H.E. Mr. Kwon Young-se, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea (ROK) to China hosted a luncheon for CPAFFC President Li Xiaolin and Mr. Wang Jianzhou, President of China-Korea Friendship Association.

President Li briefed Ambassador Kwon about her visit to ROK last month, especially the meeting with ROK President Park Geun-hye. President Li said that the deepest impression left on the Chinese delegation was the emphasis given and active endeavors made by the Korean people, from top political leaders to grass-root masses, on developing the China-Korea friendship relations in a healthy way. The CPAFFC would join in the efforts with the Korean side to make constant achievements of cultural, economic, trade, and youth exchanges. President Li also expressed gratitude to Ambassador Kwon for his support and assistance in her visit to Korea.

Mr. Wang Jianzho said that the China-Korea Friendship Association would contribute more to the development of economic and trade relations between China and Korea as the two economies complemented each other.

Ambassador Kwon Young-se congratulated President Li for her visit to Korea and assured her of full support by the Korean Embassy in Beijing to coordinate with the CPAFFC and further enhance mutual cooperation, especially in youth exchanges, for carrying forward the Korea-China friendship generation after generation.
