On September 11th, President Li Xiaolin met with the U.S. delegation composed of presidents of historically black colleges and universities. President Li introduced the major functions and vision of CPAFFC, and wished to work with colleges and universities where the delegation members come from to carry out youth exchange between China and the U.S., so as to enhance mutual understanding between the young people and lay a solid foundation for China-U.S. friendship and cooperation. Mr. Sidney Ribeau, President of Howard University and leader of the delegation, expressed sincere appreciation on the work done by CPAFFC, and hoped to maintain close contact with the association, as well as to pool resources from both sides to step up cooperation in youth exchange, educational exchange and cultural exchange between the U.S. and China.
