On June 22, the District Federation of Overseas Chinese, together with the main person in charge and relevant person in charge of the Chaoyang Overseas Chinese Youth Federation, warmly received the delegation of the Chaoyang Association of Penang, Malaysia.

The establishment of the Penang Chaoyang Association aims to provide an important platform for the people of Penang and Chaoyang to connect with each other, and to contribute to the promotion of economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation between Penang and Chaoyang, as well as the friendship and close relations between Malaysia and China.
