The U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange

Good things are happening at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai!  During Secretary Clinton's remarks today at the signing of the U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange she reaffirmed President Obama's bold plan to send 100,000 U.S. students to China to study abroad.  Additionally, Secretary Clinton announced that 10,000 Chinese students will be supported to get their Ph.D.'s in the United States.  In addition to establishing the U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange, Secretary Clinton and Chinese State Councilor Liu Yandong renewed the the Implementing Accord for Cultural Exchange and as well as the Agreement for Cooperation in Educational Exchanges.

I won't go into all the details in this post as you can read more information in the fact sheet as well as text of Secretary Clinton's remarks at http://www.state.gov/headlines/142186.htm.
