      China's top legislator Zhao Leji met with Kyrgyz Parliament Speaker Nurlanbek Shakiev on Friday in Beijing.

      Zhao, chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, stated that under the strategic guidance of the leaders of the two countries, China-Kyrgyzstan relations have achieved rapid development, reaching a new height of comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era.

      He said China is willing to work with Kyrgyzstan to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, deepen all-round mutually beneficial cooperation, and jointly build a China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future characterized by good-neighborly friendship and shared prosperity.

      Zhao pledged that China will continue to firmly support Kyrgyzstan in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and thanked Kyrgyzstan for its consistent and firm support of China's stance on issues related to Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Xizang, which concern China's core interests.

      He emphasized the need to further tap into the potential of traditional cooperation, create engines for new quality productive forces, promote exchanges of scientific and technological achievements, enhance connectivity, and accelerate the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway.

      Additionally, he said efforts should be made to foster cultural exchanges and strengthen the public support for China-Kyrgyzstan relations, and stressed the importance of building a strong security shield to create a favorable environment for the development of both countries.

      Zhao said that China's NPC is willing to strengthen exchanges with the Kyrgyz Parliament, providing legal support to deepen pragmatic cooperation.

      Both sides should learn from each other in areas such as foreign-related legal frameworks, and strengthen communication and cooperation within multilateral frameworks like the China-Central Asia mechanism and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Zhao added.

      Zhao also introduced the system of the NPC to Shakiyev. He said that China is willing to enhance exchanges on the construction of democratic and legal systems with Kyrgyzstan based on mutual respect for each other's chosen development paths and institutional models. 

      Shakiev hailed the deep and longstanding friendship between Kyrgyzstan and China.

      He said that the implementation of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project will bring new development opportunities to Kyrgyzstan.

      The Kyrgyz Parliament is willing to strengthen friendly exchanges with China's NPC and contribute to promoting cooperation between the two countries in areas of trade, investment, culture, tourism, and local governance through legislative efforts, he said.

      Various activities were held worldwide to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, which falls on Jan 29 this year.

      Recently, the Chinese Consulate General in Niigata of Japan, in collaboration with the Gansu Provincial Song and Dance Theater, delivered a spectacular visual feast for the overseas Chinese and Japanese audiences in Sendai.

      The performance, featuring the elements of Dunhuang culture and the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty, attracted about 2,000 spectators. Many Japanese people praised the colorful Chinese culture and expressed their hope to go to China to see with their own eyes and understand Chinese culture and traditional Chinese festivals such as the Spring Festival.

      "It's the first time I've seen such a performance. It's so gorgeous. I'm really touched. This Spring Festival event is also an opportunity for Japan and China to further develop friendly relations. If there is any chance for a performance like this in the future, I would like to come and watch it. I also really want to travel to China now," said a Japanese audience member.

      "Happy to know that cultural heritage like the Spring Festival was included on the Representative List of Human Intangible Cultural Heritage, I think it's great to be able to celebrate such a festival in Japan. I really hope everyone can take a look and learn about the Spring Festival," said another audience member.

      "We want to invite performers from Gansu Provincial Song and Dance Theater to present Dunhuang-themed music and dance which is full of Silk Road cultural elements. This will allow local people to see the mutual learning between Chinese and Japanese civilizations," said Cui Weilei, Consul-General of China in Niigata.

      Budapest's Chinatown was alive with energy on Saturday as the streets were filled with music, dance, and the aroma of traditional Chinese delicacies during a two-day Spring Festival celebration.

      The "Happy Chinese New Year" Temple Fair brought together numerous visitors and performers to usher in the upcoming Year of the Snake. They enjoyed the magnificent dragon and lion dances, ethnic performances, sugar-figure blowing, calligraphy demonstrations, and the unique experience of wearing traditional attire Hanfu.

      "We come here because we have a deep appreciation for Chinese culture and Chinese traditions, and a special interest in Chinese music. I think the most important part of Chinese culture is Chinese food because the best way to bring people from all over the world together is to sit around a table and eat together," said a resident in Budapest.

      Colorful celebrations and Spring Festival receptions were also held at many Chinese embassies and consulates around the world.

      By showcasing Spring Festival customs and intangible cultural heritage, these events allowed local communities to experience the festive vibes of the Spring Festival up close.

      In Dubai, over 1,000 performers and artists from around the world came together to blend traditional Chinese culture with modern art through a rich variety of performances, drawing a large number of audience. The airing of the Spring Festival Gala promotional video by China Media Group also became a highlight of the evening.

      A reception was held Wednesday evening in Cairo by the Chinese embassy in Egypt to celebrate the upcoming Spring Festival.

      Around 600 attendees including Zhang Tao, charge d'affaires of the Chinese embassy, Ahmed Shaheen, Egyptian assistant foreign minister for Asia-Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand affairs, representatives of the Egyptian government and people from all walks of life were gathered.

      "On the occasion of the coming of the Spring Festival, I would like to send my sincerest wishes to dear Chinese friends," said Shaheen in a speech.
