Ms. Naheed Ezaher Khan, MP, Honorable State Minister of Cultural Affairs and representatives from the cultural and art spheres attended the event. Mr. Li Shaopeng, Cultural Counselor of the Embassy was also invited.

The Women’s Group of the Embassy performed the Chinese fan dance “Xiao”. Adorned in traditional Chinese Hanfu and horse-faced skirts, the performers seamlessly blended the grace of classical Chinese dance with contemporary rhythmic expression. Accompanied by a fusion of traditional Chinese musical instruments and modern electronic elements, their performance evoked imagery of majestic landscapes, valorous heroes, and profound emotions, portraying the resilience and spirit of the Chinese people. The performance not only garnered enthusiastic applause from the audience, but also deepened the cultural bonds and mutual understanding between the peoples of China and Bangladesh.
