Dear friend,



We would like to invite you to join our delegation to Kenya for the
Global Peace Convention

and a Safari tour to see the amazing wild life in Africa from
November

think this trip is interesting to some of your members.



China Society will co-sponsor the “Forum on Peace and Development

through Trade and Investment” in the “Global Peace Convention”, with

President of Kenya as the patron, which will be held at the Kenyatta

International Conference Center in Nairobi, Kenya from November 17 to

21. As the largest trade partner and a major investor of Africa,
China

is playing increasingly significant roles in Africa. Kenya has shown

strong interest to start a China Society chapter and the mayor of

Nairobi, capital city of Kenya, has become our adviser. Our delegates

will join hundreds of leaders from around the world to explore

practical ways to advance peace and development in Africa and the

globe. The China Society delegates will also have a chance to enjoy

the world class and unforgettable safari that Kenya is renowned for.

Our board chairman Mr. John Dickson and president Yeqing Li will lead

this delegation.
