China is now moving toward a new stage of high-quality development with greater openness, confidence, and cooperation. Recently, China solemnly commemorates the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and put forward the Global Governance Initiative, demonstrating its commitment as a major country. Looking to the future, China is willing to deepen friendship and expand cooperation with Northern Ireland, working together to build a brighter future for China-NI relations.
