Have you ever wondered what it’s like to make friends with kids from different countries? 😊 At the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025 in south China’s Hainan Province, students from all over Asia are doing just that!
The theme of the conference is “Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future.” Sounds exciting, right? But what does that mean?
Well, international students from countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Kyrgyzstan are studying together in the Chinese mainland. They’re sharing their cultures, traditions, and ideas while learning about the local Chinese culture. It’s like a big cultural exchange party! 🎉
Meet Adel from Kyrgyzstan: Adel says that when students share their own traditions and learn about others, it helps everyone understand each other better. This kind of exchange breaks down stereotypes (that’s a big word for unfair ideas about people) and builds trust and friendship. 🤝
These students are not only making new friends but also working together to find new ways to solve global problems. By learning from each other, they’re helping to create a future where everyone gets along and works together. How cool is that?
So next time you meet someone from a different country, remember that sharing your ideas and listening to theirs can lead to amazing friendships and a brighter future for everyone! 🌟
