Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries

The Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC, Chinese: 中国人民对外友好协会 or Chinese: 对外友协 in short) is one of the major foreign affairs organizations of the People's Republic of China. The organization is officially termed as a "people's organization" and manages China's sister city relationships. Its stated aim is to promote friendship and mutual understanding between the Chinese people and foreign nations but observers have pointed out that it functions as a front organization in the united front system used to influence and co-opt elites to promote the interests of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while downplaying its association with the CCP.

The CPAFFC has been described as the "public face" of the CCP's United Front Work Department. The CPAFFC sponsors and coordinates various front organizations and influence operations in other countries at the national and sub-national level.
