Some are astonished by China’s rapid growth
and urban development.
Some “complain” about the temptation of
mouthwatering Chinese delicacies.
Some applaud for the inclusiveness and love
of China-aid programs.
Some speak out that China is the future.
They all agree on one thing,
that today’s China is the most vivid story.
Witnessing the development of China’s foreign-aid,
we are fully aware that
this is a seminar,
but not only a seminar.
Confronted with the COVID-19 pandemic,
the bond between countries hasn’t been cut off;
the desire for heart-to-heart intimacy remains strong.
With different races from all over the world,
you, the seminar participants,
overcome time differences,
and admire Chinese culture.
You’ve strengthened your bond with China through the seminar.
Your candidness has deeply touched us,
and accentuated the value of China’s foreign aid.
The big family of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre
In 2023,
AIBO will embrace its 25th anniversary,
in implementing China-aid programs.
Looking back,
each piece of achievements,
relies on the hard work of everyone involved.
Decision makers work out policies and strategies.
Economic and Commercial Offices make relentless efforts.
Program front liners fulfill responsibilities.
We are all the writers of history.
With diligence and dedication,
we march forward.
We are also the witness of development.
Moved and hopeful,
we guard China’s foreign-aid,
from small to an ever-increasing scale.
Whatever seasons and weathers,
AIBO team work whole-heartedly.
From early morning till late evening,
from online to offline,
in the classroom or in front of the camera,
You turn streams into torrents,
and bring coziness to the seminar participants.
Lovely seminar assistants,
The youthfulness of you has faded away.
You’ve grown from a novice to a veteran.
Your vigorous minds and smiling faces,
bridge the gap between the time zones,
and promote the communication between civilizations.
Highly recognized by the seminar participants,
you also meet your better selves.
Lovely seminar assistants
Under the camera,
Simple and vivid China-aid stories,
express the participants’ passion for China.
More genuine voices about China,
are also widely spreading around the world.
Looking ahead,
We’ll take seminars as an opportunity,
to share more China stories,
by better communications.
We hope to attract more seminar participants,
to meet China and love China.
