Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday sent a congratulatory letter to the "Bond with Kuliang: 2024 China-U.S. Youth Festival" held in Fuzhou, east China's Fujian Province.
Noting that the century-long bond with Kuliang is a story of friendly exchanges between the Chinese and U.S. people, Xi said he is pleased to see young people from all walks of life in China and the United States gather in Fuzhou to relive the story of Kuliang, pass on the love of Kuliang, and help enhance exchanges and understanding between the two peoples.
Young people are energetic and full of dreams, and the future of China-U.S. relations lies in young people, Xi stressed.
