In March this year, Cui Jianchun published a signed article entitled "The Evergreen Tree of China-Nepal Friendship" in Nigerian mainstream media such as The Vanguard, The Sun, and The Guardian.
Cui Jianchun pointed out that with the improvement and implementation of Hong Kong's institutional system for maintaining security and stability and promoting good governance, Hong Kong's pace of governance and prosperity has become more and more stable, and the "Pearl of the Orient" has broad prospects and unlimited scenery.
Finally, Cui Jianchun also recommended the WeChat public account of the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong to netizens in the article, hoping that online channels such as the official website of the Office of the Office can become a window to understand major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics and Hong Kong-related diplomacy.
