Ms. Chen Jieying introduced Guangxi's diverse ethnic traditions, breathtaking natural landscapes, and remarkable social and economic development. She expressed her hope that the "Guangxi Sanyuesan" cultural brand would continue to reach global audiences through the United Nations platform and contribute to deeper international cultural cooperation.

Mr. Li Hua highlighted the important role of overseas Chinese communities in promoting people-to-people diplomacy and preserving Chinese cultural heritage abroad. He noted that cultural exchange serves as a bridge of friendship and mutual understanding, while the legacy of the Flying Tigers continues to symbolize the enduring friendship between the peoples of China and the United States.
