Here, on behalf of the United Nations Pacific Regional Development and Education Organization, I sincerely congratulate the successful convening of the 10th 'World Friendship Festival International Cultural and Art Exchange Conference' in Brunei, and look forward to joining friends from around the world to deepen friendships, promote cultural exchanges, and jointly advance global peace and development through this platform.
He said that the Pacific Regional Development and Education Organization is an internationally registered non-profit public welfare organization certified in the United States, holding Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, it has long been committed to promoting sound economic cooperation, cultural exchange, and the effective operation of public welfare projects among countries in the Asia-Pacific region, aiming to enhance harmony, friendship, development, and prosperity in human society.
Zhao Yuanhong made these remarks last night at the banquet of the 10th World Friendship Festival International Cultural and Art Exchange Conference held at the Likun Hotel.

Since its inception in 2016, the 'World Friendship Festival' has spanned a decade. It has become not only a festival to celebrate friendship and cultural exchanges, but also an important platform to promote global cooperation and understanding.
This year, we are honored to bring this grand event to Brunei, this beautiful and prosperous country. With its unique culture and friendly people, Brunei adds more color and vibrancy to the 'World Friendship Festival.' The International Cultural and Art Exchange Conference, themed on arts and culture, paints magnificent pictures that transcend time and resonate with the soul.
He said that culture and art are the essence of human thought and spirit, an expression of emotion, and a crystallization of human wisdom. Here, we will hear and see displays of various cultural arts; they will use this unique form to express praise for human friendship, yearnings for a better life, and prayers for world peace.
We deeply understand that friendship is a bridge connecting different countries and cultures, and is the cornerstone of promoting international cooperation and peace. On this platform, we not only share arts and culture, but also explore exchanges in economy and trade, jointly seeking solutions for sustainable development. We believe that through such exchanges and cooperation, we can contribute to building a more harmonious and prosperous world.

Here, we would also like to especially thank our partners in Brunei for their strong support and enthusiastic participation.
Finally, we once again extend our deepest thanks to all friends who participated in and supported the 'World Friendship Festival.' Let us join hands, cherish friendship, warm society, and warm the world. We wish the 10th 'World Friendship Festival' complete success, and wish friends in Brunei and around the world a happy festival!
