One of the events they will attend is a debate session with Chinese literature students of Ewha Womans University on the roles of youth for furthering Korea-China amity. The session will include presentations on the problems of Korea-China cultural conflict and their solutions and the roles of future opinion leaders in improving Korea-China amity.
