Wu Zhiwu, Consul General of China in Chiang Mai

February 1, 2022

The golden ox bids farewell to the past and the auspicious tiger offers blessings. On the occasion of the arrival of the year of the tiger, on behalf of the Chinese Consulate General in Chiang Mai, I would like to pay New Year's greetings to people from all walks of life and overseas Chinese in the consular district. I wish you all a happy new year and a happy family!

The year 2021 is a milestone for China. The Communist Party of China is celebrating her centennial birthday. Standing at the historical intersection of the "two centenaries", China has built a well-off society in an all-round way, embarked on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and swaggered on the road of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Our achievements are hard won and we are proud of them.

The year 2021 is also an extraordinary year. In the face of recurrent Covid-19, the Chinese Consulate General in Chiang Mai always cares about everyone and works together with overseas Chinese and people from all walks of life to overcome difficulties. The Consulate General timely distributed "Covid-19 prevention kit" to Chinese citizens, made donations to Chiang Mai and other places several times, and also cooperated with overseas Chinese associations to carry out public welfare activities to help people in need. Thailand has actively treated the Chinese citizens who have been diagnosed and provided strong assistance for the smooth implementation of the "spring sprout" program in Chiang Mai. The virus is ruthless, but we have once again interpreted the kinship between China and Thailand.

Looking forward to the year 2022, we are full of confidence and hope. The Beijing Winter Olympic Games and the Winter Paralympic Games, which have attracted much attention, are about to begin. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which is of great significance to China's future development, will also be held within this year. The Chinese people will continue to strive to achieve the second Centenary goal. We will comprehensively promote the diplomacy of major countries with Chinese characteristics, adhere to the neighboring diplomatic principle of amity, sincerity, mutual benefits and inclusiveness, deepen cooperation with friendly countries including Thailand, constantly add new vitality to the China-Thailand comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and continue to create greater well-being for the two peoples.

Forge ahead with the vigor and vitality of the tiger and the Spring Festival is full of auspicious atmosphere. I wish China and Thailand to embrace prosperity, our people to enjoy happiness and wellbeing, and the China-Thailand friendship to thrive forever! I wish friends from all walks of life and overseas Chinese all the best in the new year, with might redoubled.
