Symposium enhances China-Japan friendship

More than 80 experts and scholars from China and Japan conducted in-depth exchanges on bilateral relations at a symposium held online and offline on Sunday. The event was held by the China Foundation for Human Rights Development in collaboration with the Japan-China Friendship Association in both Beijing and Tokyo. Speaking at the symposium, Wang Guoqing, vice-chairman of the China Foundation for Human Rights Development, said that the long-term, sound and stable development of China-Japan relations serves the fundamental interests of the two peoples. Nongovernmental organizations and friendly individuals from the two countries should step up exchanges and trust, and make more contributions to the China-Japan friendship, Wang said.

Weeklong campaign to publicize Constitution

China will launch a weeklong campaign to improve public knowledge of the country's Constitution on Dec 4, the ninth national Constitution Day. The campaign will focus not only on promoting the comprehensive implementation of the Constitution, but also studying, publicizing and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in October. A series of activities will be organized, including online Constitution-related knowledge contests and the airing of Constitution publicity videos aboard high-speed trains and at railway stations across the nation. The first Constitution Week publicity campaign was held in 2018, making this year's campaign the fifth of its kind.
