NEARLY 500 teenagers from Russia arrived in Beijing yesterday, kicking off a 10-day summer camp in China as guests of Chinese President Hu Jintao.
The camp reciprocates Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's hosting of 1,500 Chinese students for rehabilitation after a 8.0-magnitude earthquake rocked China.
The earthquake struck western China's Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces on May 12, 2008, leaving some 70,000 people dead and 18,000 others missing.
The delegation is led by Valerie Marzoev, director of the "Ocean" All-Russia Children's Care Center in Vladivostok, where over 900 Chinese students suffering from the devastating earthquake attended a rehabilitation program.
The Russian delegates, aged 12 to 17, will go to famous historical sites like the Great Wall and Forbidden City, visit Beijing Olympic venues and appreciate traditional Chinese opera. They will also meet with their Chinese peers at a local school.
After the Beijing leg, the teenagers will be divided into two groups and travel to the coastal cities of Qingdao and Dalian.
President Hu's invitation was made during his Russia trip in 2009.
