Panama's
Minister for Women Visited China
|
At
the invitation of the ACWF, a six-member Panamanian
women's delegation headed by Alba Tejada de Rolla,
Minister for Youth, Women, Children and Family of
Panama, visited Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and
Shenzhen from May 19 to 29.
It is the first visit to China by a cabinet minister
of Panama's current government. The delegation included
two cabinet ministers and a senior congressperson.
Most members of the delegation came to China the
first time. Peng Peiyun, Vice Chairperson of the
NPC Standing Committee and President of the ACWF,
gave a banquet in honor of guests. Besides cordial
and friendly conversations with leaders of the ACWF,
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of
Education and some local leaders, the delegation
visited China Women's College, a community service
center and an activity center for women and children.
Very satisfied with this visit, the delegation
expressed that future friendly exchanges between
the women and women's organizations of the two countries
should be carried out at multiple layers and through
multiple channels so as to promote the establishment
of a mechanism of exchanges between the peoples
of the two countries. Gloria del Carmen Young Chizmar,
Congressperson of Panama for two terms, said: "China
is an ancient country with a long history and splendid
culture. Its development today cannot be separated
from its history." She believed that China's
future would be still more beautiful.
When visiting a community of Chinese citizens
and a college for elderly people, Minister Alba
Tejada de Rolla and her husband praised sincerely,
"How happy Chinese elderly people are! We'd
like to come here to spend our later years when
we retire."
