Diplomats send China best wishes for holiday
As Spring Festival nears, many ambassadors to China have extended their new year greetings to the Chinese public and shared their vision for the future development of their countries' ties with the world's second-largest economy.
Jean-Maurice Ripert, the French ambassador, and his wife presented a greeting video on the internet. He said French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to China in January means yet another turning point for China-France ties, adding that the two countries are cooperating in various fields including working for "a cleaner planet".
In a message published in Chinese on people.com.cn, Russian Ambassador Andrey Denisov extended his wishes for "warmth and peace of families" as well as good health in the Year of the Dog.
