(Bandar Seri Begawan, 7th) Chinese Ambassador to Brunei, Xiao Jianguo, stated: 'The bright moon rises over the sea; from far away, we share this moment together.' I am very pleased to gather here with everyone to attend the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival at Tengyun Hall. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Brunei, I would like to extend my sincere holiday greetings to all friends present!
The Ambassador said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is an important traditional festival of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, it has carried the hope of Chinese people for family reunion and a happy life, as well as the pursuit of social harmony and national stability. This sincere sentiment has formed a shared cultural memory and spiritual bond for Chinese people both at home and abroad. At this important moment when China-Brunei relations are entering a new stage of building a community with a shared future, tonight's celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival and appreciation of lanterns is even more meaningful. It is an inheritance of Chinese traditional culture and will also contribute new and greater strength to deepening the bonds between the peoples of China and Brunei, and to the construction of a community with a shared future.
Ambassador Xiao Jianguo delivered a speech last night at the reception for the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival at Tengyun Hall.
The Ambassador said, "Civilizations are enriched through exchanges and mutual learning." President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Civilization Initiative, advocating respect for the diversity of civilizations, promotion of common values of all humanity, and strengthening the inheritance and cultural exchange of civilizations, which is gradually building broad international consensus. This Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival is a vivid practice of implementing the Global Civilization Initiative. We are willing to work hand in hand with friends from all walks of life in Brunei to carry out more cultural exchange activities, so that the peoples of China and Brunei can deepen mutual understanding through mutual learning between civilizations, and let the tree of friendship grow more lushly.
“Today, the world is undergoing changes unseen in a century, and has entered a new period of turmoil and transformation. President Xi Jinping recently proposed the Global Governance Initiative, emphasizing five core principles: upholding sovereign equality, abiding by international rule of law, practicing multilateralism, advocating people-centered approaches, and focusing on action-oriented guidance. The aim is to reform and improve global governance, and consolidate the authority and core position of the United Nations. This is another important public good contributed by China to address global challenges, following the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative. China is willing to strengthen cooperation with all parties, including Brunei, to jointly implement the Global Governance Initiative and the other three major initiatives, advancing hand in hand towards building a community with a shared future for mankind.”
At the end, the Ambassador wished today's event a complete success and wished all friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, may you have full blooms and a bright moon, and may you be happy and prosperous!
