The wife of China’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mrs. Lyu Renhong gave remarks as she welcomed three primary schools at the Open House Event for the Day of the African Child, held at the Chinese Embassy this Tuesday.
The students and teachers came from Wise Owl Primary School Westgate, Masaisai Primary School and Gateway Primary School in Harare.
“As the wife of the Ambassador, I am deeply moved by the enthusiasm, warmth and talent of our Zimbabwean children. Your presence here today is a testament to the enduring spirit of friendship and cooperation between China and Zimbabwe,” Mrs Lyu said.
She continued, “Here in Zimbabwe, children embody the rich tapestry of cultural heritage and the boundless potential of our future leaders. Your experiences, your dreams, and your aspirations are at the heart of our mission to foster closer ties between our two nations.
“I am also particularly encouraged to learn that some of you are interested in Chinese culture and already studying Chinese. Your dedication to learning our language not only opens doors to new opportunities, but also serves as a bridge of understanding between our peoples. I urge you to continue your studies diligently and become proud ambassadors of the China-Zimbabwe friendship.”
Mrs Lyu noted that China attaches great importance to the well-being and development of Zimbabwean children, hence the embassy is committed to supporting Zimbabwean children in every way possible, whether through school construction, educational programs, cultural exchanges, or humanitarian assistance.
“As you explore our embassy today, I hope you will be inspired by the shared values of sincerity, mutual respect and cooperation that unite our two countries. Let us work hand in hand to build a brighter future for generations to come.
“Thank you once again for gracing us with your presence. May this Open House be a memorable and enriching experience for all.”
