constitutional framework of the participating States, and their representatives can, in
the field of their activities, have contacts and meetings among themselves and exchange

to such visits;
• to increase, on the basis of appropriate agreements or arrangements where necessary,
co-operation in the development of tourism, in particular by considering bilaterally
possible ways to increase information relating to travel to other countries and to the
reception and service of tourists, and other related questions of mutual interest.
(f) Meetings among Young People
The participating States intend to further the development of contacts and exchanges
among young people by encouraging:
• increased exchanges and contacts on a short or long term basis among young people working, training or undergoing education through bilateral or multilateral agreements or regular programmes in all cases where it is possible;
• study by their youth organizations of the question of possible agreements relating to
frameworks of multilateral youth co-operation;
• agreements or regular programmes relating to the organization of exchanges of students, of international youth seminars, of courses of professional training and foreign
language study;
• the further development of youth tourism and the provision to this end of appropriate
facilities;
• the development, where possible, of exchanges, contacts and co-operation on a bilateral or multilateral basis between their organizations which represent wide circles of
young people working, training or undergoing education;
• awareness among youth of the importance of developing mutual understanding and of
strengthening friendly relations and confidence among peoples.
