With the Beginning of Spring (Lichun) having arrived and the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year growing stronger, as the Year of the Horse approaches, the Chinese Embassy in Antigua and Barbuda launched the “Warm Spring and Jointly Celebrating Chinese New Year” initiative. H.E. Ambassador Jiang Wei, Counselor Wang Erdong and young diplomats visited overseas Chinese in Antigua and Barbuda to distribute “Warm Spring Kits” and extend best wishes.

Ambassador Jiang and her entourage visited the representatives of overseas Chinese, gaining an in-depth understanding of the production and business operations, and distributed the “Warm Spring Kits”—a symbol of the care and concern from the motherland (and country of origin). They encouraged overseas Chinese to actively integrate into the local society and continue to serve as a bridge for people-to-people exchanges between China and Antigua and Barbuda, and reiterated that the Chinese Embassy in Antigua and Barbuda will, as always, uphold the principle of "Diplomacy for the People" and provide more thoughtful and efficient services.

The overseas Chinese said that these small “Warm Spring Kits” carried a profound affection that bridges the vast distances, and the care from the motherland (and country of origin) has given them a strong sense of support and honor. They expressed that they would continue to carry forward Chinese traditions, foster unity and mutual assistance, and contribute their strengths to deepening the friendship between China and Antigua and Barbuda.
