The 23rd Washington Chinese Culture Festival was held on the 30th in the capital of the United States, Washington. Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the cultural festival and deliver a speech. Xie Feng said that after more than 20 years of spring and autumn, the Washington Chinese Culture Festival has become a shining cultural card, building a unique and important bridge for the American people to understand China and Chinese culture. This year's theme is "Encountering China", looking forward to unlocking the password of Chinese culture with everyone in the joyful atmosphere of the festival, and experiencing a real, three-dimensional, and comprehensive China. Xie Feng stated that there are many cultural similarities between China and the United States. I hope that while experiencing the unique charm of Chinese culture, everyone can generate more emotional resonance of the integration of Chinese and American cultures. We look forward to strengthening interaction, mutual learning and inspiration in cultural experiences, and contributing wisdom and strength to the mutual promotion and progress of Chinese and American cultures. Xie Feng revealed that the visa function of the "Chinese Consul" app is about to be launched in the United States, and in the future, American people can apply for visas to China with just a few clicks, preparing for a "China trip" where they can leave at will. Welcome more American friends to come and visit China, enhance their intuitive understanding of China, and become "people to people ambassadors" for cultural exchanges between China and the United States, contributing to the close understanding and solidarity between the Chinese and American people. On that day, the cultural festival attracted tens of thousands of local people to stop and check in, creating a lively, lively, and joyful atmosphere. Representatives from Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and other states attended the event. Maryland Governor Moore and Washington Mayor Bowser sent congratulatory letters or letters respectively.
