On the eve of the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year Nike Special Field Air Force 1 Black High Boots Sale , British Prime Minister Theresa May on Thursday sent her wishes to those celebrating the festival worldwide through the government's website, pledging to further develop the UK-China relations.
May said the Year of the Rooster is set to be particularly for the relationship between Britain and China, as the starting point of bilateral relations is stronger than ever before.
Recalling the "historic" state visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Britain in October 2015, May said the two countries are seeing rapid development of bilateral ties.
"We receive more Chinese investment than any other major European country. We've got around 150 Nike Special Field Air Force 1 White High Boots Sale ,000 Chinese students studying here and the number of Chinese tourists visiting has doubled in five years," she said.
As both countries are permanent members of the UN Security Council, May said Britain and China are working together on the most pressing global issues.
As 2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong to China and the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the ambassadorial relations between Britain and China, May said she hoped both countries will further their ties in various fields.
"I want us to take this chance to build on all the ties we share -- in business Nike Air Force One Low Men's Premium Black Sale , diplomacy, education, tourism and culture," said the prime minister.
May said she looks forward to making another visit to China Men's Nike Air Force One High Premium Black Sale , following her trip to Hangzhou to attend the G20 summit last year, which was her first visit outside Europe as prime minister and her first meeting with President Xi.
Furthermore, the prime minister praised the British Chinese community for their "enormous" contribution to the British society.
"The Rooster -- the Fire Rooster -- represents so many of the characteristics we need to employ in that endeavor: openness, confidence Men's Nike Air Force One 07 Low Gold White Sale , hard work and leadership," May said. "Indeed, they are characteristics demonstrated day in, day out by the British Chinese community."
"As the lanterns are lit and the dumplings are served Nike Air Force One Mid 07 Black Sale , let me wish you and your family, wherever you are, a very happy and healthy New Year," she said Nike Air Force One Mid 07 White Sale , before concluding her message in Chinese: "Xin Nian Kuai Le (Happy New Year)!"
LISBON， Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Twice a month， on Sundays， a group of refugees from Syria， Iraq and Eritrea take over a kitchen in Lisbon's Alfama district to give locals a taste of middle-eastern food.
They are part of a program at Lisbon's Cozinha Popular da Mouraria (Popular Kitchen of Mouraria)， an association set up by former journalist Adriana Freire around four years ago.
Under the motto "Make Food Not War，" the program is aimed at bridging cultural divides and helping them feel more at home.
"I like everything about this project，" says Nizar Almadani， from Damascus， Syria， as he cooks a Syrian chicken dish and bakes flatbread."I have good friends here."
Almadani， who was a chef in Damascus and also owned a travel agency， arrived to Portugal eight months ago， after travelling to Turkey and then Greece.
While he likes Portugal and being part of this project， Almadani says he needs to find full-time work and is still waiting to get documents from the authorities. He hasn't seen his wife and two sons， in Lebanon， for two years， and would also like to see her resettled here.
His journey has not been easy， but this could be a good opportunity for him to start from scratch.
The man behind the idea of the project， "Make Food Not War，" Alexandre Mascarenhas， explains that it is a way for the refugees to integrate in the community and make connections.
"Our aim is to get people integrated and to experience Portuguese hospitality. I found the phrase (Make Food Not War) on the internet and I thought it had so much to do with this project， with what is happening in countries like Syria，" Mascarenhas says.
"The revenue of these events goes to them， but it is important they eventually get a full-time job， and as they get new jobs we get more new people (refugees)， and that way the cycle doesn't stop，" he adds， as he kneads bread in the kitchen.
"Before the project I didn't know many people，" says Awet Mauratu， 35， from Eritrea， who is also kneading bread. He arrived in Lisbon 11 months ago and used to work in the mining industry. "Now I know many people and we are like a family."
Portugal has showed an open attitude towards refugees， with the country offering to resettle up to 10，000 people.
However the number of refugees arriving here has been quite low. Portugal has until today received around 957 refugees under the EU relocation plan， according to recent figures released by the European Commission.
While refugees here face problems in terms of excessive bureaucracy to get residency documents， the Portuguese authorities including the President， Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa， have insisted that Portugal is welcoming refugees with open arms.
Last week Rebelo de Sousa visited the Cozinha Popular da Mouraria to see the Make Food Not War project with his own eyes， and had lunch there and complimented the chefs.
"He was very nice. I liked him，" says Almadani. "He is a very good guy， a good president."
BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- China's manufacturing sector continued to expand in December, pointing to economic resilience in the country's factory sector.
The country's manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) came in at 51.6 in December, slightly decelerating from 51.8 in November nike special field air force 1 sale , according to National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) data released Sunday.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while below reflects contraction.
The index in December is on par with the annual average, pointing to a strong resilience in China's growth, according to NBS senior statistician Zhao Qinghe. |
