Chinese students met with Kenyan youth leaders to discuss global issues, and also socialized together.
Students from Shanghai Lida University recently visited the United Nations Office in Kenya to engage in the UPower Program of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
The Chinese students talked and interacted with Kenyan youth leaders on issues of gender equality and climate change, both groups contributing to efforts by youth especially for global sustainable development.
United Nations officials and experts provided some feasible solutions and spoke on the roles and responsibilities of youth regarding climate change.
