THE Consulate General of China on Sunday marked its country’s 76th year with a grand celebration in Cebu City led by Consul General Zhang Zhen, attended by the city’s Filipino-Chinese community, business leaders, and government officials.
Also in attendance was Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival, League of Municipalities of the Philippines Cebu Chapter president and Cordova Mayor Cesar Suan, and several other mayors from Cebu province.
“This occasion is not only a moment of pride for China but also an opportunity to reaffirm the bonds of friendship between our two sides. I thanked Cebu’s leaders and communities for their long-standing support. I especially felt the genuine desire across the local society for closer cooperation between our two sides,” Zhang said in her remarks.
She highlighted China’s transformation over the past 76 years, from lifting 800 million people out of poverty to becoming a global leader in innovation, renewable energy, and international development. Minerva Newman
