Organised by the Sports Bureau of Sichuan Province, a sports exchange delegation of thirty-one people arrived Macao on May 13th to take part in the fifth Sichuan-Macao Youth Exchange Programme, during which local young athletes participated in four sports exchange activities, namely martial arts, table tennis, badminton and synchronized swimming.

The activity was run under the Letter of Intent for Sichuan-Macao Youth Sports Exchange Activity signed by the sports departments of the two regions in 2009. For years, the sport meets have seen positive results; a platform has been created for the athletes in Sichuan and Macao to learn, to communicate and to make friends over sports. This has facilitated not only their mutual understanding in sports but also communication and cooperation of the sport affairs in both territories.

During the two-day exchange programme, young athletes competed against each other in badminton, table tennis, martial art and synchronized swimming, from which experiences were shared and lessons were learnt.
