In Chinese customs, 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, representing liveliness, enterprising, kindness and agility. Although the world economy is still far from bottoming out, we see that ASEAN is showing strong momentum. China, which has a close relationship with Cambodia in economy and trade, has also begun to dispel the shadow of the COVID19 epidemic in the new year, showing a strong recovery. The Spring Festival in Hong Kong and Macao has finally reappeared with joy and prosperity.

The Gala dinner was successfully held, and local overseas Chinese were successfully connected. We united to foster the co-operation to a new level. This event also helps Cambodians to understand the traditional Chinese New Year culture more, and all guests from various backgrounds feel the happiness of Chinese New Year in Cambodia.
