On Wednesday 18 December 2024, a delegation from the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (APCAE), led by His Excellency Dr. Yang Wanming, President of the association, was welcomed by the Mayor of the City of Luxembourg, Lydie Polfer, and Emile Eicher, President of Syvicol. 

This meeting at the Hotel de Ville in Luxembourg City was an opportunity to take stock of various themes of the APCAE and particularly relevant at the level of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, including friendship between peoples and international cooperation, to name a few. 

Founded in 1954, the APCAE was initiated by ten national public organisations and today aims to lay the social foundations for friendly relations between China and other nations and is committed to human progress and global solidarity.
