The Chinese Embassy in Mongolia held a New Year symposium for teachers and students in Mongolia during the Spring Festival in 2024. Ambassador Shen Minjuan, Li Zhi, Counselor and Director of the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulaanbaatar, and more than 120 representatives of teachers, volunteers and students in Mongolia attended the event.

Ambassador Shen Minjuan extended New Year greetings to the teachers who have been working and the students are studying in Mongolia during the Spring Festival. She said that the past year was the first year to implement the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress. China's COVID response has made a smooth turn and the economy has continued to rebound and improve. China-Mongolia relations have flourished after the pandemic. In particular, cooperation in education has yielded fruitful results and traditional friendship has further deepened among the people. This cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of all of you.

Ambassador Shen Minjuan said that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of PRC and the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Mongolia, which is of great significance. I hope that you will always harbor patriotism and the ambition to serve the country, work hard to learn skills, and contribute to a better future for China and the enhancement of China-Mongolia friendship. The Chinese Embassy in Mongolia will always be the home of Chinese people in Mongolia. We welcome you to come home often and communicate more.

Representatives of teachers thanked the embassy for setting up a platform, which helps them share their experiences, learn from each other's strengths, and work together to improve Chinese teaching. Volunteer representatives said that this symposium made everyone feel the care of the embassy and the country, and strengthened their determination to devote themselves to international Chinese teaching. Representatives of students said that they understand the responsibility of telling Chinese stories and inheriting the friendship between China and Mongolia, and they should better integrate their study abroad, the dream of life and the Chinese dream, and contribute more to the development of the country and China-Mongolia friendship in the new era.

Teachers and students performed erhu, guzheng, humai and sword dance and other programs, and volunteer teachers sang the volunteer song in a cheerful and warm atmosphere.

This symposium is one of the Happy Spring Festival events launched by the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia.
