From March 25 to 28, diplomats from 28 countries and international organizations, including Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Japan and AU, were invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to visit Nanjing and Suzhou in Jiangsu Province. During the visit, the diplomats enjoyed the humanistic landscape and went into the front line of enterprises, feeling the vigorous vitality of China's high-quality development and the broad opportunities of high-level opening up.

In Suzhou's Humble Administrator's Garden, Mr. Qasim Goshran, Minister of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in China, marveled at the beauty of China's classical gardens in the south of the country.

"With pavilions and small bridges, the living place is integrated with nature." In Goshran's opinion, Chinese gardens not only present ancient Chinese architectural skills, but also reflect the Chinese civilization's reverence for the unity of heaven and man. During the visit, he took photos from time to time: "I'm going to send these photos to my daughter, who is an architect."

With white as the main color of the building, supplemented by appropriate black and grey, it is like the white drawing of a Chinese painting ...... The Suzhou Museum, designed by architect Mr. I.M. Pei, allowed the envoys to feel the uniqueness of the architectural style, as well as the heritage and characteristics of the harmony between tradition and modernity in this place.

"Suzhou has done a great job of preserving traditional culture, which is important, and we want young people to know where they have come all the way from." Ambassador of Solomon Islands in China Barrett Salato said.

At the Nanjing Yunjin Museum, the demonstration of the operation of the Yunjin wooden loom made members of the delegation marvel. As a traditional silk craft, Yunjin, with its gorgeous colors and exquisite patterns, was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009.  

"It is a living cultural heritage that not only belongs to the past, but is also deeply integrated into people's current lives." Mr. Vahe Gevorgyan, Armenia's ambassador in China, said Armenia also has a long history and a lot of cultural heritage to showcase, and hoped to deepen cultural exchanges with China in the future.

In the 1990s, the Sino-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park, an important cooperation project between the governments of China and Singapore, was established in Suzhou. During the visit, the envoys came to the exhibition center of the park to learn about its development history. The Ambassador of Suriname in China, Ms.Chong Pick Fung, said that the development of the park from a field to an innovative manufacturing center in such a short period of time has completely exceeded expectations.

On one wall of the exhibition hall of SIP, the national flags of more than 80 foreign enterprises invested here were printed, and the envoys, seeing their national flags, came forward to take photos.

On March 26, in the Suzhou Industrial Park Exhibition Center, envoys from China watched the introduction of SIP. Ireland's Ambassador in China, Mrs. Ann Derwin, said, "Many Irish companies have partners in SIP, some as suppliers and some as distributors, and we believe that business contacts will continue to flourish in the future."

At the foot of the Nanjing City Wall and inside the China Gate, Albania's Ambassador in China Mr. Selim Belortaja said that his country also has a city wall, and that through this visit to Nanjing, he has explored more cultural commonalities with China, and will promote bilateral development through the culture of the city wall in the future.

"We are good friends with China, follow up with more cultural exchange activities with China, so that more students come to China to live and experience, in-depth understanding of China's history and culture, literature, etc., and then spread back to their hometowns, everyone can be a cultural messenger." Burkina Faso Ambassador in China Mr.Daouda Bitie said.

Early in the morning on the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, the train whistling and running over the bridge, the cars commuting to work and the ships floating on the river, all three overlapped together, and the envoys took out their phones to record the scene. Mr. Willy Kipkorir Bett, Ambassador of the Republic of Kenya in China, posted the photographed view of the bridge to social media and expressed his appreciation for the Yangtze River Bridge, "The Yangtze River Bridge combines the bridge landscape, natural ecology and humanistic scenery, behind which I feel the beauty of balance."

"Many cities in Nicaragua also rely on the lake area for their development, and there is a lot to learn from Jiangsu's modern water transport construction." Nicaragua's Ambassador in China Mr.Michael René CAMPBELL Hooker said Nicaragua looks forward to following up with Jiangsu to enhance exchanges and common development.

"Environmental beauty" is an important goal of Jiangsu's economic and social development. Mr. Ian Marshall, Grenada's Ambassador in China, said that in Jiangsu, he saw a balance between ecological protection and urban construction, urban development and traditional humanities, and scientific and technological progress and green development. "This is very informative for a city's development." He said.

Argentina's Ambassador in China, Mr. Mr. Marcelo Gabriel SUAREZ Salvia, said that the flags displayed in the exhibition hall not only epitomize the cooperation between countries, but also show that China remains open to the world in its development path.

At Nanjing Exton Automation Co Ltd, China's domestic intelligent industrial robots caught the envoys' eyes. "I am already thinking about how to cooperate in areas such as digital automation, and I believe that the two countries have very extensive room for cooperation." Mr. Ian Marshall, Grenada's Ambassador in China said.

Green, low-carbon and sustainable development were highlights of the visit throughout the trip.

"What is the source of power for the chargers? Can it store energy? Does it completely use clean energy?" In the exhibition hall of Nanrui Group, the more than ten-meter-long curved big screen shows the company's technical features in the fields of grid energy storage and clean energy, which attracts the envoys to ask questions frequently and expresses their expectation to work together with China to explore the potential of cooperation in the field of new energy.

"Just on March 26, Burkina Faso ordered 50 new energy vehicles from China. Today at the front line of the enterprise, I saw the charging piles we need. I look forward to visiting again to discuss cooperation programs in the field of new energy." Burkina Faso's Ambassador to China, Mr.Daouda Bitie, said.

"China has made amazing achievements in new energy technologies such as wind and solar energy, and is a leader in the field of clean energy, with many cases to learn from." Ms. Martha Mavrommati, Cyprus Ambassador in China, said Nanjing and Limassol, Cyprus, are friendly cities, and hoped that the two places can carry out more cooperation and tighten the bond of green cooperation between Cyprus and China.
