Somali Ambassador to China Hodan Osman Abdi recounts her 20-year personal journey in China. Drawing on her firsthand experiences, she reflects on three Chinese teachings that have shaped her: the philosophy of “harmony in diversity”, the spirit of “teach a man to fish”, and the practical ethos of “plan for a day in the morning”. She also shares unique insights into China-Somalia cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and the deep cultural affinities between the two countries.
