He expressed his thanks for the association's work to push forward Ningbo's friendly relationship with cities of other countries and to help private enterprises to develop business and investment in other countries. He hoped the association will continue to play its role as a bridge with other countries. He pointed out that the association should combine folk diplomacy with Ningbo's foreign trade, push forward the multi-cultural communication among peoples and show great concern for all the foreigners working and studying in Ningbo so that folk diplomacy can make further contribution to Ningbo's opening up.
