NAGOYA, Japan, April 18 (Xinhua) An international symposium has been held in the Japanese city of Nagoya to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Ping-Pong Diplomacy, with participants looking forward to promoting the sound development of China-U.S. and China-Japan relations through sports exchanges.
Fifty years ago, exchanges between ping-pong players at the 31st World Table Tennis Championships in Nagoya paved the way for China and the United States to finally normalize bilateral ties, breaking the ice in two decades of estranged Sino-U.S. relations.
Shoichi Kondo, secretary general of the Sino-Japan Friendship Parliamentarians Union, said at the symposium on Saturday that the Ping-Pong Diplomacy started in Nagoya 50 years ago has not only changed China-U.S. relations, but also changed the world.
