UAE, the Government and the people proudly offer a warm and sincere welcome to President Xi Jinping of China, who begins a three-day visit to the UAE today.
The visit is highly significant for many reasons, cementing the close and cordial ties between the two nations, one that has grown and prospered across every economic and cultural sector. Indeed, President Xi is making his first foreign visit this year, an honour that we in the UAE are proud to accept and welcome him with our warmest greetings.
China’s First Lady Peng Liyuan is accompanying President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China on his official visit to the UAE, as part of a high-level delegation to deepen bilateral trade, cultural and scientific cooperation between the two countries.
The first lady represents a new image of China, where the President of the Institute of International Relations of China Foreign Affairs University described her as “a key player in China’s soft power”. He added that Peng Liyuan, in her new role as China’s first lady, represents her country abroad as an artist, singer and a long-time advocate of fighting poverty among other issues facing Chinese citizens.
