As the Year of the Snake gives way to the Year of the Horse, the Academy for International Business Officials (AIBO) grandly convened its 2026 Spring Festival Gala on the afternoon of January 29. Themed “Steeds Gallop Toward New Journeys, Spring Radiance Across the World,” the event brought together over 300 guests at the Academy’s auditorium, including all staff and faculty, retired officials, representatives of international participants from foreign aid training programs, leaders from China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges (CICETE) as well as local affiliated institutions.
The gala kicked off with a heartwarming retrospective video showcasing the AIBO’s fruitful achievements and dynamic initiatives over the past year. President Wu Bin delivered an inspiring address, extending sincere greetings and best wishes to all staff, distinguished guests, international participants, and colleagues stationed overseas. He called upon everyone to forge ahead together in the new year, stay true to the AIBO’s mission, and continuously innovate. He emphasized the need to cultivate a larger network of international friends who understand and are friendly toward China while building more “AIBO Bridges” for win-win cooperation, thereby making greater contributions to The Four Global Initiatives, the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, along with the core work of the Ministry.
