Chen Haosu, president of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, will today start a four-day visit at the invitation of the Malta-China Friendship Society.

Mr Chen is the son of the Chinese Marshall Chen Li, who survived the "long march" with Mao Tse Tung.

Reno Calleja, the current president of the Malta-China Friendship Society, had met Mr Chen in July this year during the Tianjin Cultural Festival and invited him to visit Malta.

This year Malta and China are marking the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malta and China.

Tomorrow Mr Chen will pay a courtesy call on the President of the Republic, Prof. Guido de Marco, and will then proceed to the Garden of Serenity at Santa Lucija to plant a commemorative tree in the garden.
