On the morning of May 13, the 2022 “International Friends @Qingdao” and “International Youth Dialogue” event was officially launched at the Qingdao International Conference Center.

The theme of this year is "Exchanges and Mutual Learning for a Shared Future" and slogan of the event is "Discover Qingdao".

Seventy-seven international friends from 39 countries attended the launching ceremony, and a series of cultural and tourism exchanges and city experience activities will be carried out in the future.

In this event, international friends who have lived in Qingdao for a long time were invited to serve as international consultants for Qingdao cultural tourism. Centering on the theme of “a vibrant ocean city and a livable and lovable city”, they designed “Introduction of the Top Ten Culture and Tourism Scenes From Expats”.

At present, Qingdao is actively creating a youth development-friendly city, striving to make the city more friendly to young people and gathering youth power to inject new vitality into building a modern international metropolis.
