The China Friendship and Peace Development Foundation is the most important foundation under the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries. The Friendship Association with Foreign Countries and the World Harmony Foundation have been partners for 23 years. The 100-day countdown from the return of Hong Kong in 1997 and the 60th anniversary of the United Nations in 2005 were mutual activities. Richard Jordan, Chair of the 60th Annual UN DPI/NGO Conference on Climate Change, invited Madam Li Xiaolin to speak at the Conference, which led to the Friendship Assn. bringing a group of 40 participants from China to the next conference. In 2006, he participated in the organization of the 7th United Nations Global Forum on Reinventing Government in Vienna. They supported those from the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and led the surviving high schools to visit the US Congress. Chinese Americans organized by the Foundation came to Beijing and were received by the Chinese President, the four Politburo Standing Committee members, the Executive Vice Chairman of the National People’s Congress, the Executive Vice Chairman of the CPPCC, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, the Beijing Municipal Government, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, and the Ministry of Public Security. The warm reception from six major parts including the Friendship Association with Foreign Countries and the special interviews by The Peoples』 Daily and news broadcasts by CCTV Oriental Space-Time are the highest reception ever received by a non-governmental diplomatic Chinese delegation.
