A DELEGATION from the All China Youth Federation (ACYF) is in Brunei for
two days in order to explore possibilities in increasing the level of youth
exchanges between the two countries.
Established in 1949, the ACYF is
a federative body of Chinese youth organisations and excellent youth
nationwide.
Through its 52 member
organisations and over 77,000 individual members at all levels, the ACYF
reaches over 300 million young people across China, according to its website.
In an interview with The Brunei
Times, deputy secretary general of ACYF, Chen Guanghao, explained that the
delegation was here to follow up on the experiences of previous visits by youth
from China to the country.
He noted that after 21 years of
diplomatic relations, the young people of China have a good impression of
Brunei and would want more opportunities to visit the country's 'natural
beauty'.
Chen also added that bilateral
relations can be improved by having more people-to-people exchanges. He was
confident more of those exchanges will take place as the leaders of both
countries have agreed that youth exchanges were important in promoting
bilateral ties.
"We are trying to expand the
scale and level of the exchanges," he said, noting that currently, what
they have was not as big as they expected.
He added that a major part of
their visit was to look for opportunities to increase the youth exchanges,
"to do better and make them bigger and more often".
The delegation met yesterday with
the acting director of Youth and Sports, Hj Mohd Zamri Dato Paduka Hj Hamdani
at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS) Headquarters yesterday.
They also attended a briefing by
the Brunei Youth Council and the MCYS to help them understand the function and
role of those organisations.
The delegation will also be
visiting cultural sites around Brunei during their stay.
