Ireland's ambassador a man of the people

Perhaps it's because of the luck of his compatriots that Irish Ambassador Declan Kelleher's time in China has been so enjoyable.

But more likely, it's the hospitality he's received that has made his life here marvelous.

And because he's had such wonderful experiences with Chinese people, he hopes the ongoing Irish Culture Festival will enable more citizens of his host country to better know natives of his homeland.
