On behalf of the Chongqing Municipal Government， Zhang Guozhi warmly welcomed all the guests and wished them a happy Chinese New Year. She said that 2023 was the first year for Chongqing to fully implement the guiding principles from the 20th CPC National Congress and start the modernization drive of the New Chongqing. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee and the Chongqing Municipal Government， 32 million Chongqing people forged ahead together and made impressive progress in building the New Chongqing. These achievements would have been impossible without the strong support and enthusiastic engagement of the Consulates-General and Chongqing-based overseas organizations. In 2024， Chongqing will actively contribute to the new development paradigm， thus advancing high-quality development and further expanding high-standard opening-up. Zhang Guozhi expected closer connections and cooperation with Consulates-General and Chongqing-based organizations， and deeper friendly exchanges and cooperation between Chongqing and other countries.

On behalf of the consular corps， Yos Sokhemrak extended his gratitude to the Chongqing Municipal Government， Chongqing FAO， and relevant institutions for their strong support and close collaboration. He stated that the Consulate-General became more confident about the promising future of Chongqing after learning about the latest development of the city at the second session of the sixth Chongqing Municipal Peoples Congress and the second session of the sixth Chongqing Municipal Committee of the CPPCC. In the past year， consulates of different countries were committed to forging deeper friendly cooperation with Chongqing through unprecedented efforts. Recently， consulates are drafting detailed work plans for 2024 to yield fruitful and tangible results through cooperation. The Cambodia-China relations have entered a new chapter. The Royal Embassy of Cambodia in China and the consulates of Cambodia in China will engage in facilitating friendly exchanges and cooperation between Cambodia and China. All these endeavors will bring fruitful results to both sides， contributing to regional stability and prosperity.

The gala was characterized by an array of traditional activities， such as wristband weaving， calligraphy couplets， and traditional sachets， all of which contributed to a festive ambience of the Chinese New Year. Guests engaged in these activities and took photos. The event began with a video showcasing the memorable moments of interactions between Chongqing and consulates in 2023.
