The World Federation of Chinese Catering Industry recently announced an agreement with Guang Hua Media, a Paris-based group that has Chinese-language publications in Europe, such as the European Weekly.

The agreement would help to promote Chinese cuisines in Europe, Yang Liu, president of the federation, told reporters on Wednesday in Beijing.

The federation, with help from China's Culture Ministry, will organize Chinese New Year Eve dinners on Sunday in Spain to showcase family values and Chinese culinary culture.

During the next five years of their agreement, both sides will hold training sessions for Chinese companies and make efforts to improve the image of Chinese restaurants in Europe.
