The Norwegian Chinese Friendship Association (NCFA) was founded in 2018 with a mission to develop and nurture people to people relations between China and Norway. United in our now globally intertwined world and in our quest for the betterment of humanity and global peace – it is vital, now more than ever – to create initiatives that contribute in building knowledge through development of a more nuanced and broader understanding of our two countries and to facilitate people to people exchanges between our countries in the all sectors of society. With the current geopolitical challenges with increased east-west polarization driven by a legacy media that increasingly shows itself to be in-ward looking and propagandized – we need now more than ever – initiatives that contribute to create opportunities for people to people exchanges between our two countries in all sectors of society.
