On December 18, a grand reception was held in Beijing to commemorate the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China and the Federal Republic of Somalia.

Lou Hongliang, a faculty member of Yiwu Industrial & Commercial College (YWICC) and an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of Jinhua-style pastries, made a stunning appearance with an exclusive ICH pastry gift box that integrated cultural symbols of China and Somalia. This exquisite offering not only paid tribute to the China-Somalia friendship spanning 65 years, but also provided a tangible and replicable model for advancing Somalia’s agricultural product processing and upgrading.
