At the invitation of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), a youth delegation from São Paulo State University, Brazil, visited China from July 26 to August 2, 2025. During their stay, the delegation attended the World Youth Conference for Peace, organized by CPAFFC at Peking University, and also visited Guizhou Province.

At the World Youth Conference for Peace, Daniel, head of the delegation, delivered a heartfelt speech recalling the memorable experience when faculty and students of São Paulo State University jointly wrote to President Xi Jinping and received his reply. He shared vivid stories of his personal connection with China, as well as his understanding and reflection on President Xi Jinping's reply, China-Brazil friendship, and world peace. He also announced, via a video release, the official call for submissions to the "So Far, So Close" China–Latin America Youth Short Video Competition.

In Guizhou, the delegation gained deeper insights into China's rural revitalization, ecological conservation, ethnic integration, and socioeconomic development through on-site visits, hands-on experiences, learning, and exchanges with local youth. They also joined the lively atmosphere of the popular "Village BA" basketball tournament, where they performed the song "Ru Yuan" to warm applause and friendly cheers.

The visit aimed to carry forward the spirit of President Xi Jinping's reply to Brazilian friends from all walks of life and to further enhance Brazilian youth's understanding of China. The young delegates expressed their willingness to contribute to the continued development of China-Brazil relations and to be "small yet enduring waves" in the surging tide of China-Brazil friendship.
