From July 30 to August 2, 2025, at the invitation of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), a delegation of young entrepreneurs from Latin America visited Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, to participate in the Latin America Session of the 2025 "Run with Yiwu"—Global Youth Business Program. The 30-member delegation, composed of young entrepreneurs from Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, focused on emerging industries such as biotechnology, life sciences, and artificial intelligence.

At the launching ceremony of the 2025 Run with Yiwu—Global Youth Business Program, Xing Huidong, Full-time Vice President of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries; Gao Jin, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Yiwu Municipal Committee and Vice Mayor of Yiwu; and Diego Marcos, Head of the Latin American youth entrepreneurs delegation and Executive President of the Argentina-China Association for People-to-People Cooperation, delivered remarks.

During their stay in Yiwu, the delegation toured the Yiwu Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, Yiwu International Trade City, Yiwu (Suxi) International Hub Port, and the Zhejiang Human Resources Service Export Base. Through immersive visits and interactive exchanges, the Latin American young entrepreneurs gained deeper insights into Yiwu's remarkable journey from "bartering sugar for chicken feathers" to becoming the "World Small Commodity Hub." They witnessed firsthand the city's dynamic commercial vitality and globally connected logistics network. In training sessions, Chinese and Latin American young entrepreneurs engaged in lively discussions, exchanging ideas on innovation and entrepreneurship. The interactions not only sparked fresh inspiration but also fostered lasting friendships between youth from China and Latin America.

The delegation also participated in a series of cultural activities, including traditional Chinese medicine practices such as acupuncture and cupping, Wu Opera, lacquer fan making, paper-cutting, and woodblock printing—further enriching their appreciation of Chinese culture.

As a supporting event of the World Youth Conference for Peace at the subnational level, the program aimed to consolidate the outcomes of the conference, empower international youth in innovation and entrepreneurship in China, amplify voices of friendship, and share opportunities for common development.
