Youth delegation boosts ties

Chinese-Indian Youth Delegation was established in 2005. As an important platform for mutual understanding between the young people of both countries, the Chinese-Indian Youth Delegation has been held seven times, with roughly 2,200 young people participating. It has greatly improved bilateral ties. The Indian Youth Delegation of 2013 arrived on Monday and will pay a 10-day visit to cities including Beijing, Wuhan and Shenzhen. Their destinations include famous universities, modern agriculture exhibition centers, IT companies and local youth centers. Conferences with university students and teachers will be held, offering an opportunity for both sides to boost communication. The delegation contains 100 representatives selected from various fields including university students, engineers and farmers. The structure gives the delegation a chance to discuss topics of interest to both sides. The delegation is led by Nita Chowdhury, secretary of the Indian Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
