At the invitation of Dr. Salma Abdel Jabar, Secretary of Social Affairs of the Libyan General People's Congress, a Chinese women's delegation, led by Zhao Shaohua, Member of ACWF's Secretariat, paid a visit to Libya from March 29 to April 2, 2003.
　　Colonel Moammar Khadafy, the leader of the Great Alfathen Revolution, extended a warm welcome to the delegation in a meeting and praised Chinese women for their active involvement in various fields. He also stressed the "One China" principle, and wished China an early unification. He said he believed the visit of the delegation would greatly push forward the bilateral relationship.
　　During their visit, the delegation visited Col. Khadafy's bombarded residence, the local rehabilitation center for disabled persons, the "Great Green Charter" Study Center, the Women's Police Officer College, the Security Bureau of Andalus District, and a local kindergarten.
　　At the Women's Police Officer College, 200 students in neat formation welcomed the delegation at their drill ground. Their band played music--including a tune of welcome and Libya's national anthem--for the guests.
　　When the delegation visited the Province of Shaabiat Almirqb, the secretary of the Provincial People's Congress, Omar said, proudly, that he had studied at Tsinghua University, so he thought he was half Chinese. He invited the delegation to attend a meeting of the Provincial People's Congress and invited Zhao to speak to congress. No other foreign delegation had been invited to attend such a meeting before. Other delegations have been allowed to watch from the gallery.
　　Nulia, secretary of social affairs of the Provincial People's Congress of the Province of Shaabiat Benghazi, compared the reception given to the Chinese to that accorded a head of state. "Only in this way, could we express our love for China," she said.
　　Informal discussions and public speeches by members of the delegation introduced China and Chinese women to the Libyans, and conveyed the spirit of friendship to the North African country.
