Executive Director of Latin American Information Alliance (AIL) Juan Carlos Isaza has extended warm wishes to the Chinese people ahead of the Spring Festival, which will usher in the Year of the Horse.
In a warm video greeting from Bogota, Colombia, holding a horse toy in hand, Isaza noted that the animal symbolizes energy and dynamism in the Chinese culture - qualities that aptly describe the relationship between AIL and China Media Group (CMG).
The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, falls on Feb 17 this year. It is one of the most important holidays in China, celebrated with family reunions and wishes for good luck in the coming year.
The full text of his message is as follows:
Hello, greetings from Bogota, Colombia. For us in the West, the new year began several weeks ago. But for you in China, it is about to begin with the start of the Spring Festival.
In Chinese culture, this new year is represented by the horse. This lovely pony in my hands symbolizes energy and dynamism. I want these two words to represent the relationship between the Latin American Information Alliance and the China Media Group.
May we continue working together, hand in hand, to unite our regions and our peoples. From here, from Bogota, I want to wish the China Media Group, our friends at CCTV Video News Agency, and our colleagues at the Spanish-language channel CGTN a happy new year.
I wish you prosperity, peace, and happiness in this new year. See you soon.
