Beijing (VNA) – The 7th ASEAN-China Young Leaders Exchange Festival began in Haikou, the capital city of China’s Hainan province, on August 13.

The festival is jointly organised by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, the China-ASEAN Association and the Foreign Affairs Office of Hainan province.

During the event, about 100 young leaders from Hainan and seven ASEAN countries – Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia – will take part in conferences, exchanges, visits, musical performances and sports competitions, among others.
