庆祝中加建交55周年暨中华人民共和国成立76周年——“美在四季”卢海燕专场

Foreword | 中华人民共和国驻加拿大大使馆首席馆员林镔公使衔参赞 致辞：

Hon. MP Yasir Naqvi, Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dance is the luminous manifestation of the soul, which is an expressive art and a universal language that transcends cultures and ethnic groups. In this sense, it is of special significance for us to gather here tonight to celebrate the time-honored China-Canada friendship with an event featuring Chinese culture, particularly Chinese-style dance performances.

This year marks the 55th anniversary of China-Canada diplomatic ties and the 20th anniversary of our bilateral strategic partnership. A few days ago, Chinese president Xi Jinping and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney had a successful meeting which demonstrates the complete turnaround of China-Canada relations. Immediately after that, China restored Approved Destination Status for Canada to receive Chinese group tourists. Looking forward, there will more exchanges and cooperation between the two countries, bringing more tangible benefits for people of both countries.

I wish to highlight that the Chinese embassy will support whatever is conducive to the growth of China-Canada relations. This also means support for overseas Chinese in Canada, as you will all benefit from the ever-growing bilateral exchange and cooperation. It is also hoped that Chinese diaspora will continue to contribute to the good momentum of China-Canada friendship and cooperation.

Before I conclude, please allow me to thank the Federation of Ottawa Chinese Canadian Community Organizations and Haiyan Dancing School for presenting “Beauty in Seasons” tonight. Wish this event a full success. Each and everyone present a wonderful evening!

Thank you!
