On December 1st, Chen Shuangwei, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Municipal Government and Secretary General of Shenyang PAFFC, led a working group to visit the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries（CPAFFC）. Yuan Mindao, Vice President of CPAFFC, met with the working group, and heads of departments such as the Eurasian and East Asian departments of CPAFFC participated in the activity.

Chen Shuangwei said that in 2023, the FAO of Shenyang (Shenyang PAFFC), closely focusing on the city's central work, fully built the "Hello, Shenyang" global promotion brand, actively carried out foreign exchange activities in various fields, and further enhanced Shenyang's international reputation and influence. In practice with the important directive spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the "three batches" of international sister cities, Shenyang has further expanded its international circle of friends by strengthening, activating and opening up friendly relations with foreign cities. He hoped that CPAFFC will provide support and guidance in the construction of friendly cities, economic and trade cooperation, and the creation of event brands, in order to promote Shenyang's high-level opening up to the outside world and achieve high-quality development.

Yuan Mindao fully affirmed the brand construction of "Hello, Shenyang" and expressed his full support and guidance for the friendly exchanges between the people of Shenyang and the outside world. The working group also had precise coordination with the heads of the Eurasian and East Asian departments of CPAFFC on 2024 work plan, especially the private foreign exchange plans with key countries such as Germany, Russia, Japan, and South Korea. Next, the FAO of Shenyang (Shenyang PAFFC) will further deepen cooperation with CPAFFC in strengthening interaction and exchanges between Chinese and foreign youth, inviting high-quality foreign friendship groups to visit Shenyang, and hosting national level exchange activities, actively practicing the "three roles" of civil diplomacy, and drawing a new blueprint for Shenyang's civil foreign exchanges in the new era.
