Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent a reply letter to Adam Foster, president of the Helen Foster Snow Foundation, urging the U.S. organization to help promote friendship between the two nations.
In the letter, sent on Jan. 27, Xi pointed out that Edgar and Helen Snow actively promoted the Chinese Gong He (Gung Ho) movement of industrial cooperatives, and played an important role in establishing the Shandan Peili School in China's Gansu province.
The Chinese people, he added, bear in mind the contributions made by international friends, including the Snows, to China's revolution and construction, as well as their sincere friendship with the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.
The Chinese president said he highly appreciates the positive contributions made by the Helen Foster Snow family to the development of China-U.S. relations over the years.
He expressed his hope that Foster and the foundation will continue to follow the example of the Snows and make new contributions to enhancing the friendship and cooperation between the Chinese and American people.
Foster recently wrote to Xi, recalling the contributions made by Helen Snow to enhancing people-to-people friendship between the United States and China.
He also vowed to carry forward her spirit of promoting friendship and cooperation between the people of the two countries and create a bridge for U.S.-China people-to-people exchanges and interaction.
