As part of an ongoing AFPC-People’s Republic of China (PRC) exchange, a nine person delegation headed by Mr. Wan Guoquan, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), visited Washington, Philadelphia, and New York, August 21-29, 1998.

Two Chinese scholars, Mr. Shi Huiye and Mr. Li Xiushan, arrived in Washington, D.C. on June 5, touching off a 10-day fact-finding mission.

As part of our ongoing involvement with the formal exchange between the U.S. Congress and the Russian Duma, AFPC hosted a dinner for the latest delegation of Duma members on May 19.

Last December, Mr. Andrei Kolosovsky, Charge d’Affaires of the Russian Embassy, was the guest of honor at an AFPC-sponsored dinner in Washington, D.C

In late September, 1992, AFPC sponsored a trip for senior policy analysts to Russia.  The delegation sought to achieve a deeper understanding of the difficult and complicated circumstances there.  The purpose of the trip was to study the economic, political and social situation in the country through a number of channels including meetings with Parliamentary leaders, government officials, journalists, business executives and others, and through general exposure to life in Moscow and its environs.

Through the generous support of the Pew Charitable Trusts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the American Foreign Policy Council has been able to conduct an in-depth study of the U.S. foreign aid program.  This study project has culminated in a book entitled Modernizing Foreign Assistance: Resource Management as an Instrument of Foreign Policy.  With the final manuscript now with the publisher, Praeger Publishing of New York, the book is scheduled to be released in Summer 1992.
