A delegation of US high school and university students visited Beijing International Studies University (BISU) on Oct 14.

At BISU, the delegation toured the university history museum with BISU faculty and student representatives to learn about the university's development and distinctive features.

Zheng Chengjun, member of the standing committee of the CPC BISU Committee and vice-president of the university, encouraged the young people to value face-to-face communication and to deepen mutual understanding and friendship through such exchanges.

During their stay in Beijing, the delegation and more than 50 BISU faculty members and students visited the National Museum of China and the Palace Museum.

They also participated in a China-US youth exchange event held at Peking University. At the event, Chinese and American students sang together and practiced tai chi, bringing the gap between them through music and traditional culture.
