From December 9-14, AFPC hosted a six person delegation of senior Chinese officials in Washington, DC. The delegation was led by Mr. Zhang Zhijun, Vice Minister of the CPC Central Committee’s International Department - a position roughly equivalent to an American Under Secretary of State.

The Library of Congress’ Russian Leadership Program (RLP) got off with a bang in the summer of 1999 when over 2,000 Russian officials visited the U.S. AFPC coordinated the congressional part of the program, co-chaired by Rep. Roger Wicker (R-MS-1) and Rep. Bud Cramer (D-AL-5).  Delegations were hosted by 32 members of Congress.
