(ECNS)-- The 24th China-Korea International Youth Art Festival was recently held in Seoul, South Korea.

More than 200 young participants from both countries took part in the festival’s main stage performances, presenting works in dance, vocal music, instrumental performance, recitation and fashion.

The event also featured a range of study and exchange programs, including K-pop training sessions, tours of the Korean Broadcasting System and visits to leading local universities.

The activities gave Chinese and South Korean teenagers opportunities to meet and communicate face to face.

Luan Min, head of the New Asia-Pacific Culture and Arts Federation, said in her speech that the festival helps young people from the two countries overcome language barriers through art, broaden their global perspectives, and foster mutual understanding, respect and friendship. 

The event was co-hosted by the New Asia-Pacific Culture and Arts Federation and the Korean Cultural Exchange Center.
