Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries

On December 2, CPAFFC Vice President Hu Sishe met with the INTERKULTUR delegation led by President Gunter Titsch, and discussed with the delegation about the two associations’ further cooperation.

Mr. Titsch first conveyed his congratulations on the success of the 2014 China International Friendship Cities Conference (CIFCC) and expressed his sincere gratitude for inviting his delegation to attend the Conference. He said that since our two associations established contacts, we have achieved fruitful results. This year, we have signed the Cooperation Agreement, co-organized “Walter Sheel Forum- 2014 China Germany Culture Forum” and jointly promote a full success of the 8th World Choir Games. Mr. Titsch spoke highly of CPAFFC’s active role in enhancing people’s friendship and promoting exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and foreign localities. He hoped that the two sides can further deepen their cooperation and explore new opportunities to promote multi-areas cooperation between Chinese and German localities. Mr. Titsch also invited Mr. Hu Sishe to attend the 9th World Choir Games in Sochi in 2016.

Mr. Hu thanked Mr. Titsch and his delegation for attending the 2014 CIFCC and expressed his gratitude for INTERKULTUR’s contribution in promoting exchanges, particularly in culture, between Chinese and German localities. The two associations have jointly established a working mechanism of regular meeting. On the basis of existing cooperation achievements, the two sides need to further enhance practical cooperation to connect friendship-city establishment work with local cultural exchanges. Mr. Hu suggested to involve the two sides’ next step cooperation into our series activities of “BCIM local authorities cooperation” next year so as to improve cooperation, expand influence and jointly promote exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and foreign localities.
