Xi Jinping Sends Letter To Maltese School Thanking Them For Increasing Knowledge About China
President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping has responded to a letter from teachers and students of the China Corner of St. Margaret College Secondary School in Malta, a Chinese government official has tweeted.
“He encouraged more Maltese youth to actively participate in people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries, promote mutual learning among civilizations and carry forward the friendship between the Chinese and Maltese,” assistant minister of foreign affairs of China, Hua Chunying explained.
In his letter, Xi thanked the efforts of the China Corner of the school as it has contributed positively to increasing knowledge about China among the Maltese youth and promoting the China-Malta friendship, according to China.org.
He further wished the China Corner success in the future and welcomed both faculty members and students to China for exchanges and study.
Peace and harmony among all states has been a long-held aspiration of the Chinese nation, Xi said. He added that these are the cultural root of the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
“We live in a world where history and reality meet, where opportunities and challenges coexist, and where humanity as a whole rises or falls together. Countries must assist each other in times of need and choose win-win cooperation if we are to share in the fruits of development,” he noted.
Despite these claims for peace and harmony, some twitter commenters didn’t take too well to the news.
“I wrote to him to release Uyghurs from prisons in Xinjiang but he never replied,” one reply said.
While others expressed support, “this news is very nice”.
What do you think about his reply?
