On March 26, China established diplomatic relations with Honduras. To help Hondurans better understand China, learn from China’s development experience, and enhance the friendship between the two peoples, a delegation of Honduran mainstream media journalists, led by the Deputy Minister of the Information Department of the Presidential Office of Honduras and the Director of Channel 8, was invited to visit China. This was the first Honduran delegation to China since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

During their stay in Beijing, the delegation visited the Yanqi Lake International Convention Center, National Speed Skating Oval, Dongsheng Science and Technology Park, Mutianyu Great Wall, and Shougang Park. The trip not only allowed the journalists to explore Beijing’s profound historical and cultural heritage, but also provided them with a glimpse of the exciting opportunities brought by China's modernization.

During the visit, the delegation members praised Beijing’s achievements and said they would give an accurate and comprehensive report of their experiences to the Honduran people. They hope that this will facilitate greater exchange and cooperation between the two countries in areas such as scientific and technological innovation, and economy and trade.
