A delegation from the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese visited the Guangdong Association for exchanges and guidance

At noon on May 23, 2019, the Guangdong Association of Western Australia and General Chamber of Commerce welcomed a four-member delegation from the China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese. The delegation visited and learned about the Guangdong Association of Western Australia under the leadership of Minister Zuo Zhiqiang of the Information and Communication Department of the China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese. The establishment and development of the General Chamber of Commerce were discussed with President Qian Guiyuan and his wife, vice presidents, directors, and key members of the Youth Department and the Ministry of Economic and Trade.

Minister Zuo deeply understands that it is not easy for overseas Chinese to work hard in a foreign culture and life differences in a foreign country. Therefore, on behalf of the China Overseas Chinese Federation, he came here to visit everyone and express condolences to overseas Chinese compatriots who are working hard overseas. During this trip, I was very pleased to see overseas compatriots unite in Perth, Western Australia, especially the united Guangdong compatriots who enthusiastically established the Guangdong Association and General Chamber of Commerce and served the society. After watching the short video recording of the Western Australia Guangdong Association’s activities over the years, Minister Zuo Zhiqiang learned that the Association has done a lot of outstanding work in just a few years since its establishment, especially its work and dedication in giving back to the society. This was strongly affirmed by the Chinese Consulate General in Perth. Minister Zuo fully affirmed the work and achievements of the Guangdong Association and its purpose. He especially praised the Guangdong Association for its care and support for the local elderly, as well as its concern, help and support for overseas students and tourists who were injured in traffic accidents in Western Australia. He expressed his gratitude to this kind of feedback. The dedication of the community was highly commended.

At the same time, Minister Zuo also gave clear guidance on conference affairs, hoping that all directors and members would work together to create a harmonious overseas Chinese community and take time to serve overseas Chinese on the basis of doing their jobs and careers well. Minister Zuo also pointed out that it is very important to implement diversification when conducting overseas overseas affairs. In addition to daily services, social feedback, culture and entertainment, we also need to carefully carry out economic and trade cooperation activities.Organizing more economic and trade activities will allow members to have more opportunities for trade cooperation, have a better platform for economic and trade cooperation and business cooperation, and make corporate members and working members prosperous. Only in this way can the cohesion among members be enhanced. Let members be more motivated when organizing activities. For the Western Australia Guangdong Association, while doing a good job in hometown association work and giving back to the society, it also vigorously promotes economic and trade exchanges between China and Australia, such as holding a large-scale Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area introduction and opportunity sharing lecture on March 5. , express praise. As a very important strategic policy of the country, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is full of numerous business opportunities. It is hoped that the Western Australia Guangdong Association can continue to prepare more economic and trade activities for members, such as introducing local business opportunities and development opportunities in Australia, as well as business opportunities in China, such as cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Yangtze River Delta region, etc. In addition, Minister Zuo also said that a better understanding of the concept and details of the Belt and Road Initiative, such as the specific significance of building a community with a shared future for mankind, can better promote overseas Chinese affairs.

Minister Zuo has been working in overseas Chinese affairs for more than 30 years. With his experience in overseas Chinese affairs, he deeply affirms the work of the Western Australian Guangdong Association and wishes the Western Australian Guangdong Association and General Chamber of Commerce to continue to do better and better. You must always abide by local laws and regulations, as well as local traditions, culture, and customs. In terms of operations, overseas Chinese affairs must establish rules and regulations and the bylaws must be clear. Members must abide by the rules and regulations so that the chamber of commerce can grow steadily and go forward in the long run. At the same time, I hope that the Western Australian Guangdong Association will work hard to promote China-Australia economic and trade cooperation in the process of reform and opening up in our home country. I hope we can do more to unite overseas Chinese, speak out more for things that benefit the Chinese community, and do more activities to promote China-Australia. . Minister Zuo and Chairman Qian have the same idea. They believe that when dealing with overseas Chinese affairs, doing a good job in business is the first priority, and the development and contribution of the community is the second priority. Before helping others, be yourself first.

Finally, Minister Zuo hopes to have more exchanges and cooperation with the Western Australia Guangdong Association in the future, and will provide detailed and rich information for us to promote overseas or help the Western Australia Guangdong Association promote domestically in a suitable way. I hope that the Guangdong Association can seize the opportunities of the Greater Bay Area, take advantage of the opportunities of the Belt and Road Initiative, advocate the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, provide a comprehensive information platform for members and Chinese and Australian businesses, and be the messenger of China-Australia friendship! Finally, I sincerely invite President Qian and his wife, vice presidents and directors of the Western Australian Guangdong Association to visit the China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese in the future.
